Description
Abstract
Traffic accidents are both a major economic and public health problem worldwide. We use
data from the May 2016 Spanish barometer (n = 1632) to analyse the characteristics of drivers
who declare different types of risky driving behaviours. Our estimates suggest that the
likelihood of being a high-risk driver in Spain increases with educational attainment and
decreases with age. Moreover, it is higher for those with previous sanctions and for men,
particularly so regarding speeding and driving after drinking alcohol. These results suggest
that prevention policies in Spain should be targeted to different collectives of drivers
depending on the particular risky behaviour considered
