abstract="This study reports on the utilization of the Driver Attitude Questionnaire (DAQ) to examine the self-reported behaviors of a sample of Australian fleet drivers (N = 416). Surveys were posted to drivers who agreed to participate in the study. Univariate analyses of the four DAQ sub-scales revealed that respondents were least concerned about speeding, followed by risky overtaking maneuvers. In contrast, attitudes regarding the seriousness of close following behaviors and drink driving were significantly higher. Additional analyses revealed the speeding factor was associated with self-reported traffic offenses,  and was predictive of demerit point loss at a multivariate level, even after controlling for driving exposure (i.e., kms driven each year). This paper will further highlight the major findings of the study as well as possible implications regarding the predictive utility of self-reported questionnaires to  investigate driving behaviors.<p />",
