Abstract: The Dula Dangerous Driving Index (DDDI) was created to measure drivers’ self-reported
likelihood to drive dangerously. Each DDDI scale (DDDI Total, Aggressive Driving, Negative
Emotional Driving, and Risky Driving scales) had strong internal reliability and
there was also evidence for the construct validity of the scales. The DDDI was used to
examine the relation between dangerous and aggressive driving and dispositional aggression
and anger among 119 college students. Males reported significantly more aggressive,
risky, and angry driving than did females. Males and females reported similar levels of
dangerous driving and negative emotions while driving. Dangerous driving was positively
related to traffic citations and causing accidents. The DDDI will be useful as a research
instrument to examine dangerous driving.
