Abstract

This paper presents the study analysis regarding the relation between the assessment of own, as well as other people’s driving skills, and the frequency of causing traffic collisions and accidents. The respondents have been divided into five groups, based on the replies which they provided as regards obeying the road traffic safety regulations. The first group included those drivers who viewed their skills as very good, followed by the group of good, average, poor and very poor drivers. In case of the first two groups, i.e. those, who assessed their skills to be at least good, the analysis has been carried out in scope of causing road collisions and accidents.
