French validation of a new version of the Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) for drivers of all ages and level of experiences.

Highlights: [•] A new version of the Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) has been validated on a sample of French drivers, of all ages and all level of experience. [•] Exploratory factor analysis on a 41-items version confirmed a six-factor structure: “dangerous errors”, “inattention errors”, “inexperience errors”, “ordinary violations”, “aggressive violations” and “positive behaviors”. [•] A shorter version with 23 items has been produced, with the same 6 factors, explaining 52.5% of the variance. [•] Results show the links between demographic, mobility variables, DBQ factors and involvement in accidents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
