Abstract

The theory of planned behavior (TPB; I. Ajzen,

1985) was applied to drivers' compliance with speed limits. Questionnaire

data were collected for 598 drivers at 2 time points separated by 3 months. TPB

variables, demographic information, and self-reported prior behavior were

measured at Time 1, and self-reported subsequent behavior was measured at Time

2. In line with the TPB, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived control were

positively associated with behavioral intention, and intention and perceived

control were positively associated with subsequent behavior. TPB variables

mediated the effects of age and gender on behavior. Prior behavior was found to

moderate the perceived control-intention and perceived control-subsequent

behavior relationships. Practical implications of the findings for road safety

and possible avenues for further research are discussed.
