The Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ)

The Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) is a research tool used to assess drivers' tendencies to engage in risky or unsafe driving behaviors. It asks drivers to reflect on how often they or others perform specific actions, such as speeding, ignoring traffic rules, or making aggressive maneuvers. The goal is to identify patterns of behavior that may increase the likelihood of accidents or traffic violations, helping researchers and traffic safety professionals understand and improve driver safety. The DBQ provides valuable insights into different types of driving misconduct and their relationship with accident risk.
