abstract="This exploratory study focuses on the relationship between the right hand digit ratio, aggressive driving behavior, and the individual accident involvement rate. Data was collected from 150 right-handed male drivers and two different ratios were computed. The results indicate that the digit ratio significantly correlates with the individual number of traffic accidents, but not with the expressions of aggressive driving. These findings are in line with the studies which state that specific digit ratios are good markers of prenatal testosterone exposure. They also provide some support for the digit ratio as a potential predictor of accident proneness.<p />",
