00:00Recent research reveals that nearly half of British motorists, some 49%,
00:06admit to breaking traffic laws, which is about 10.5 million drivers according to DVL data.
00:13A survey by whocanfixmycar.com highlights how many drivers knowingly flout the law,
00:20believing they won't get caught. This reflects a worrying attitude towards road safety. The
00:26research has shown that driver profiling, attitude and knowledge are critical components.
00:32A poor attitude leads to risky behaviours like speeding and tailgating and road rage which
00:39increases the chances of accidents. Lack of knowledge is equally troubling with many drivers
00:45unaware of basic road laws and safety practices. Addressing knowledge gaps can be straightforward
00:52with tools like the highway code and regular testing. However, changing attitudes requires
00:58more sustained effort such as ongoing training and promoting a culture of safe driving.
