Placing a human being behind the wheel
of an automobile often has the same curious effect as cutting certain fibres in
the brain. The result in either case is more primitive
behaviour. Hostile feelings are apt to be expressed in an aggressive
way. The same man who will step aside for a stranger at a
doorway will, when behind the wheel, risks an accident trying to beat another
motorist through an intersection. The importance of emotional factors in
automobile accidents is gaining recognition. Doctors and other scientists have
concluded that the highway death toll resembles an epidemic and should be
investigated as such. Dr Ross A. McFarland, Associate Professor
of Industrial Hygiene at the Harvard University School of Public Health, said
that accidents "now constitute a greater threat to the safety of large segments
of the population than diseases do." Accidents are the leading
cause of death between the ages of 1 and 35. About one third of all accidental
deaths and one seventh of all accidental injuries are caused by motor
vehicles. Based on the present rate of vehicle registration,
unless the accident rate is cut in half, one of every 10 persons in the country
will be killed or injured in a traffic accident in the next 15 years.
Research to find the underlying causes of accidents and to develop ways to
detect drivers who are apt to cause them is being conducted at universities and
medical centres. Here are some of their findings so far: A man
drives as he lives. If he is often in trouble with collection agencies, the
courts, and police, chances are he will have repeated automobile accidents.
Accident repeaters usually are egocentric, exhibitionistic, resentful of
authority, impulsive, and lacking in social responsibility. As group, they can
be classified as borderline psychopathic personalities, according to Dr.
McFarland. The suspicion, however, that accident repeaters
could be detected in advance by screening out persons with more hostile impulses
is false. A study at the University of Colorado showed that there were just as
many overly hostile persons among those who had no accidents as among those with
repeated accidents. Psychologists currently are studying Denver
high school pupils to test the validity of this concept. They are making
psychological evaluations of the pupils to see whether subsequent driving
records will bear out their thesis.
