The work reported here explored the accident involvement of men and women to determine whether the pattern of accident involvement was the same or different. In addition, the driving behaviour and attitudes of men and women was examined to determine if there were any significant differences. The main study involved the use of digitised video tests: driver speed choice, close following, gap acceptance, overtaking and hazard perception were tested, and a questionnaire covering a range of factors such as driver experiences, sensation seeking and attitudes to alcohol and drug use was included.
