I was reading this borderline victim blaming piece http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/psychologists-suggest-simple-changes-to-daily-behaviour-can-make-cycling-on-londons-roads-saferav-10065194.html that was linked to in a rider down incident and was wondering (as I often do) about driver psychology. It prompted me to do a quick search for studies that might be out there related to driver psychology but I only found one half decent overview here:
http://www.drdriving.org/articles/principles.htm
And a few articles scattered around, which is a shame because I expected there to be a wealth of studies and research given that so many people spend so much time in their cars.
Anyway for what it's worth the drdriving link is worth a quick scan, it explains some things that perhaps we never realize when we are behind the wheel or even on a bike and could potentially help avoid high stress situations.
It was a quick search so any other resources that you may know about out there, post here.
