- Psychological influences on traffic law compliancePublication . Groeger, John A.This paper reviews a range of studies which have sought to increase drivers’ compliance with the traffic law. These range from: studies which have manipulated levels of enforcement to studies which have investigated the effects of providing drivers with information about current levels of compliance, to studies which have sought to assess the impact of different levels of penalty. It is concluded that the effects of normative information are weak and inherently dependent on the actual behaviour of other drivers. The results presented further suggest that the risk of apprehension, which may be augmented by provision of in-car warnings, is most likely to be effective in increasing compliance.
