Examining speeding behaviour: An application of Situational Action Theory
Chae Rose
Abstract
This program of research applied Situational Action Theory (SAT) to the behaviour of speeding, marking the first such application of the theory in Australia and the first application of it to speeding. In doing so, this research has provided a greater understanding as to why some people are more likely to speed than others. Additionally, this approach has provided greater insight as to when, and for whom, current speeding countermeasures have the desired deterrent effect. As such, this research has provided a strong foundation for the development of targeted and effective interventions to curb speeding on Australian roads.
