Abstract: The role that specialised driver training activities and motor sport play in modifying driver behaviour on public roads is a highly emotional and politicised topic, about which there are many differing views. In the first stage of this project, we conducted a review of the literature on the association between both specialised driver training activities and motor sport participation with driver behaviour and safety on the road. The literature review was presented to AIMSS, CAMS and RACQ in May, 2017. For the second stage of the project, we collected and analysed self-report data to answer the question of whether there is an association between collisions on public roads and advanced driver training and/or motor sport participation. Data were collected via a cross-sectional online survey from Australian adults who regularly drive on public roads in Australia. The findings from this second stage of the project are presented in this report.
