Living dangerouxly?

(October 5, 2004) - What kind of driver are you?

• Prudent: You steer clear of the slightest risk and your driving record for insurance purposes is perfectly clean;

• Skillful: You’re totally ingenious at getting past obstacles on the road and the only thing you love more than taking risks is driving fast.

In recent years Canadian researchers have been trying to study the behaviour of drivers. Among other things, their work focuses on determining how great a risk drivers are willing to take in relation to the anticipated benefits.

You can learn more about driver behaviour — both men and women were tested on a driving simulator! — and the homeostasis of risk at the session on Transportation Research: Social Sciences in Real Life (109D) today from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in Cartier C room.
