DRIVER BEHAVIOUR AND TRAINING; ED. BY LISA DORN

Driver Behaviour and Training, edited by Lisa Dorn and published by Ashgate in 2003, serves as a significant academic compilation examining the intersection of human psychology and road safety. Born out of the growing interdisciplinary interest in traffic psychology during the early 2000s, the text gathers research findings from leading international scholars to address how individual attitudes, cognitive processes, and risk perception influence motorist performance. It was specifically intended to bridge the gap between theoretical psychological research and practical applications in driver training and safety policy.

Lisa Dorn, a prominent expert in driver behavior research, curated this volume to synthesize peer-reviewed contributions that explore variables such as personality, motivation, and environmental factors in driving. The work is widely recognized within ergonomics and transport psychology circles as a foundational reference that moved the conversation beyond purely mechanical training to a more nuanced focus on human factors. Upon its release, the academic community received the collection as a vital resource for educators and safety researchers aiming to reduce traffic accidents through evidence-based behavioral interventions.
