The study was planned to analyze traffic behavior undertaken by drivers, including the emerging so-called awareness gaps. The study was conducted in Poland, and 211 drivers participated in it. The results show many important relationships that could form the basis for proposing effective social campaigns on road safety, including increasing the awareness of drivers as those who have a real impact on its improvement. The analyses confirm the existence of the awareness gap in the examined target group. They also show what kinds of behaviors are considered by drivers to be risky and what kinds of behaviors are aggressive. Moreover, they show the percentage of undesirable behaviors in road traffic and indicate which behaviors are considered by drivers to be the most threatening.
