- Despite the considerable amount of research on the behaviour of drivers in road traffic the problem of defying psychological and physical features of a good driver is still exactly unsolved. Apart from physical features, which limit or preclude from operating a car, there are psychological traits, which influence drivers’ behaviour. Taking into account three basic aspects of proficiency in driving: physical fitness (determined during the medical examination), mental attitude (determined during the psychological examinations testing of mental predisposition for driving a vehicle), knowledge, skill and attitude of a driver. The mental traits seem to be even more important than physical fitness, knowledge or divers’ skills. This article presents, in particular, reasons for and predictors of risky behaviours in road traffic with a focus on variables of personality features, which potentially are the reason for hazardous behaviour. The results showed the existence of statistically significant differences in temperament and type of psychological gender between drivers demonstrating a tendency to risky behaviour on the road and those who do not have such tendencies. Also the analyses of the researches had given numerous interesting conclusions on relations between personality differences of drivers who like to take risk and the ones who do not have such inclinations. Additionally, the differences of character in the aspect of evaluating behaviours as risky were presented.
