In analysing the causes of the dangers posed in road traffic, which often end up in accidents or other road incidents, we focus on evidence of violated road safety rules. This is an oversimplification of the problem, since it does not allow for getting to know the determinants of indicated violations which often come down to the broadly assessed state of health of road users, their psychophysical characteristics and personality, as well as their fatigue and mental state. The author of this paper not only analyses the aforesaid problems from the legal point of view, but also tries to look at them in an interdisciplinary way. The author further demonstrates how little we know about it; hence without in-depth exploration of the subject, preceded by credible scientific research, it will be extremely difficult to take reasonable preventive measures, whilst deterring with severe sanctions simply does not work.

Drivers’ self image and perception of other drivers comprise the main road traffic factors under analysis in this paper. The impact of these factors on traffic safety was evaluated through a survey among drivers. The outcome of the survey led to interesting conclusions related primarily to the relationship between drivers’ behaviours and their self-assessment and assessment of others. A negative correlation was demonstrated for the latter factor. The more highly the respondents rate themselves, the less highly they rate the skills of other drivers. The study included a number of comparative analyses dealing, among others, with drink driving.

From the beginning of the 90s the number of vehicles traveling on Polish roads has been systematically growing. Statistics clearly indicate this – in 1990, the number of vehicles was over 9 million, while in 2017, it exceeded 29 million registered vehicles. It should also be emphasized that it is important that in the majority, these vehicles are not new – the average age of vehicles according to the Central Register of Vehicles is 13 years. The above phenomenon has a negative impact on road safety. The condition of road safety is also not improved by the condition of road infrastructure, the dynamically increasing traffic load on many road sections and the small capacity reserves caused by the constantly increasing number of vehicles. In order to confirm the thesis on the importance of the problem of road safety, the fact is that every year on Polish roads there are over 32000 accidents and over 420,000 collisions, in which at least 2,800 people are killed. This article is a synthesis of research conducted over the traffic which presents the results of research, which aimed to assess factors influencing the perception of traffic safety by its participants. The collected surveys allowed to indicate factors which, in the opinion of respondents, contribute the most to the occurrence of traffic incidents and the lack of safety on roads.
