A research titled ‘A mixed logit model for the sensitivity analysis of Greek drivers’ behaviour towards enforcement for road safety’ co-authored by G.Yannis and C.Antoniou from NTUA, was published in the Journal European Transport in December 2007. Traffic violations are among the leading causes of road accidents. In this research, the sensitivity of Greek drivers to a hypothetical intensification of police enforcement for speed violations and improper overtaking is analyzed, using stated preference data. It can be argued that while the “typical” Greek driver may not be particularly risk-prone, there are segments of the population that show a tendency to violate traffic laws.
