Abstract

The primary study objective was to determine whether the subsequent driving records of problem drivers could be predicted, following a group driver improvement meeting. Significant cross validity coefficients of .11 and .33 were reported for collisions and convictions, respectively. Driving record and criminal record variables were the most influential predictors of subsequent driving record with psychological variables playing a relatively minor role. The interesting finding was that only one prediction equation was necessary to predict both convictions and collisions. The results indicated that the equation that was used to predict subsequent convictions was also able to predict subsequent collisions as well as or better than the collision equation itself.
