Chuliganiško ir pavojingo vairavimo, kaip kelių eismo taisyklių pažeidimų, vertinimas

Abstract

Only 14.4% of respondents reported that are familiar with the Administrative Codes’ provisions regulating the responsibility for the aggressive and dangerous driving. The majority of respondents indicated that they often or sometimes violate the requirements of Road Rules. For half of all respondents the mood has influence for violating Road Rules. Some respondents who were penalized for aggressive and dangerous driving hadn’t understood why they were punished for it. There are four main factors encouraging drivers to drive dangerously and aggressively, respondents included the following: driver's age, driving experience, alcohol, the desire to show off. It is assumed that for many people, particularly young age, the awareness of dangerous and aggressive driving and the consequences of driving are not sufficient. It is likely that the study will indoctrinate the public with the existing problem and we believe that the driving schools should pay a greater attention to this issue as well as extensive educational activities carried out through the media.
