Abstract

Objective: To explore high-risk behaviors and experiences with traffic law among night drivers in Curitiba, Brazil.

Method: Data from 398 drivers on sociodemographic parameters, high-risk behaviors, experiences with traffic law, and traffic law violations were collected through interviews conducted at sobriety checkpoints. Exploratory-descriptive and analytical statistics were used.

Results: The mean age of the participants was 32.6±11.2 years (range, 18 to 75 years). Half of the drivers reported having driven after drinking in the last year, predominantly single men aged 18 to 29 years who drive cars and drink alcohol frequently. Only 55% of the drivers who had driven after drinking in the last year self-reported some concern about being detected in a police operation.

Conclusions: A significant association was found between sociodemographic variables and behavior, which can help tailor public interventions to a specific group of drivers: young men who exhibit high-risk behaviors in traffic, such as driving after drinking alcohol, some of whom report heavy alcohol consumption. This group represents a challenge for educational and enforcement interventions, particularly because they admit to violating current laws and have a low perception of punishment due to the low risk of being detected by the police.

巴西库里提巴夜间司机的高危行为和交通法规经验。

目的:探讨巴西库里蒂巴地区夜间驾驶员的高危行为及交通法规经验。方法:通过在清醒检查站进行访谈，收集398名驾驶员的社会人口学参数、高危行为、交通法经验和交通违法行为数据。采用探索性描述性统计和分析性统计。结果:参与者的平均年龄为32.6±11.2岁(18 ~ 75岁)。一半的司机报告说他们在去年酒后开车，主要是18到29岁的单身男性，他们经常开车和喝酒。在去年酒后驾车的司机中，只有55%的人表示担心在警察的行动中被发现。结论:在社会人口变量和行为之间发现了显著的关联，这有助于为特定的驾驶员群体量身定制公共干预措施:在交通中表现出高风险行为的年轻男性，例如酒后驾驶，其中一些人报告大量饮酒。这一群体对教育和执法干预构成了挑战，特别是因为他们承认违反了现行法律，并且由于被警察发现的风险较低，因此对惩罚的认识较低。
