Informed Consent
Distractions When Driving
Background
You are being asked to contribute to a survey about the things you do while driving. It will be asking you:
i) about your behaviours in the car
ii) how distracting you find some tasks
iii) your accident history and any penalty points, and,
iv) questions about your personality.
The survey is seeking to determine how frequently some in-vehicle behaviours are undertaken and how distracting these are percieved to be. The responses will be analysed to identify behavioural trends and traits. It is hoped the results will provide opportunities for interventions to improve road safety. A prize draw will be held for a £50 amazon gift token as a modest thank you for your contribution.
