A person who systematically violates traffic rules by repeatedly committing violations, even if he does not necessarily get into accidents. This model of behavior on the road reflects a set of psychological, behavioral and social factors that affect compliance with the rules and discipline on the road.
Characteristics of a recidivist:
1) Deviation from the rules of the road for various reasons – can be associated with laziness, inattention, a desire to shorten the path or ignorance of the importance of following the rules.
2) Tendency to selfish actions – the driver puts his own interests above public safety and does not respect the rights of other road users, for example, by repeatedly overtaking or not keeping a safe distance.
3) Limited risk awareness – relying on luck or past experience to avoid accidents, while ignoring a realistic assessment of potential hazards on the road.
4) Average ability to concentrate and control their emotions – despite their ability to concentrate and control their emotions, they sometimes prefer to ignore laws or warnings.
