A person who frequently gets involved in traffic accidents due to risky behavior, decreased attention and concentration, or making poor decisions in critical situations. This pattern of behavior reflects a combination of psychological, physiological and personal factors that increase the likelihood of repeated accidents compared to other drivers.
Characteristics of a driver with a history of repeated road accidents:
1) Low attention and concentration – difficulty maintaining alertness and constant attention while driving, especially in difficult situations or on long, monotonous routes.
2) Propensity for risk and recklessness – making risky decisions such as speeding, illegal overtaking, or aggressive driving.
3) Poor emotional balance – an overreaction to stressful situations, which leads to travel rage, aggression or impulsive behavior.
4) Poor risk assessment – underestimating dangerous situations or overestimating one’s capabilities, which reduces the ability to adapt to changing road conditions.
5) Excessive self-confidence and disrespect for the law – excessive reliance on one’s own experience without taking into account traffic rules or warning signs.
