Abstract
These documents are the results of the third (2010), fourth (2011), and fifth (2012) annual Traffic Safety Culture Index. The purpose of the survey was to provide up-to-date information about driver perceptions on key behaviors such as impaired driving, distracted driving, vulnerable road users, and other topics of concern for stakeholders. The data was collected annually using a nationally representative, probability-based survey of U.S. residents 16 years of age and older. Key results from respective years are listed below:
One of the major findings of this survey was respondents perceived unsafe driver behaviors such as speeding and drinking and driving as serious threats to their personal safety. They generally supported laws to improve traffic safety by restricting driver behavior, even when such laws would restrict behaviors they admitted to engaging in themselves.
