- Driving a car is a task demanding particular competencies, which include: knowledge, skills and specific personality and mental traits. Every driver should posses: knowledge about traffic law regulations, practical skills of driving a vehicle, ability to predict traffic situations and, what is especially important, self-diagnosis ability. Those skills determine driving safety. Paper presents dangerous and aggressive driving behaviour on the roads. It describes characteristic features of drivers and type of offenses committed by them, as well as recognition of the scale and reasons for aggression in the road traffic. Paper includes detailed research results analyses of aggressive behaviour and its evaluation by road traffic controllers - police (408 persons), and by drivers participating in the demerit points reduction scheme (504 persons). Survey results indicate that drivers consciously break traffic law, underestimate danger, overestimate their own abilities, feel unpunished and they don't know traffic regulations well. All results shows that aggression is a frequent problem, especially concerning 18-39 year old group with wrong attitudes towards others road users. Importance of psychological testing of drivers, necessity of psycho-educational and preventive actions was pointed out in view of these circumstances. Research has allowed determining psychological reasons of the drivers' attitude and behaviour. Conclusions suggest undertaking activities and campaigns whose purpose is to change dangerous attitudes and habits and create re-education systems for the drivers who regularly break road traffic regulations.
