 * Tash92, Thank you for this feedback --U3115339 (discuss • contribs) 10:33, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I also really like the moving round about in figure 1! I was just thinking about whether indifference would apply as an emotion? This could come into play with the use of phones and similar technology by people while driving. --Liam C (discuss • contribs) 12:28, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Liam C Thank you for this and the suggestion about indifference and emotions - will defiantly look into it --U3115339 (discuss • contribs) 12:38, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi u3115339! I think the picture of the round-a-bout is very creative. I also like the picture of the car crashing into the pole, you can see how much harm risky driving can cause.--Holly Kingham (discuss • contribs) 08:39, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Understanding risky driving
Hey there! Just had a quick read through your page and I noticed that you put emphasis on the phrase "safe" when discussing how people can still commit risky behaviours even though they believe themselves to be "safe". It might be a bit out of scope, but I was wondering if you were going to look into whether there is difference in performance between people who believe they are "good" and "safe" drivers compared to people who believe they are regular or "bad" drivers. Also whether age as well as emotion has an effect on the likelihood of risky driving behaviour. Just thought it would be an interesting discussion point as it's something that is often in the media or in general discussions! --U3115299 (discuss • contribs) 14:06, 3 September 2017 (UTC) U3115299
 * Hey U3115299, Thank you for these suggestions! I will be aiming to talk about different drivers and how they think they are as a driver and if this has an effect on emotions and behaviours that are displayed when driving. With age I plan on discussing this as this is a topic that is discussed alot in the media and there is research that look at the development and how this changes the ability of one to act. An with that i have found a few papers that discuss middle aged people starting to drive risky as well so I believe that will be interesting to address.--U3115339 (discuss • contribs) 14:22, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Theories and articles
Hey U3115339! Your chapter is shaping up nicely :) As we briefly discussed, it might be good to focus on theories that explain how emotions influence cognition - so you can apply to how they might impact driving behaviour. Research into how emotions impact attention might be particularly relevant - you could contrast negative (narrowing of attention) and positive (broadening of attention) emotions? Check out this article for some background: Pêcher, C., Lemercier, C., & Cellier, J. M. (2009). Emotions drive attention: Effects on driver’s behaviour. Safety Science, 47, 1254-1259. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssci.2009.03.011 And this one looks at the impact of anger: Stephens, A. N., Trawley, S. L., Madigan, R., & Groeger, J. A. (2013). Drivers display anger‐congruent attention to potential traffic hazards. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 27, 178-189. https://doi.org/10.1002/acp.2894 Love the quotes from the police - there's the take-home message! Great topic, look forward to reading more as you go - all the best! --u3122707 (discuss • contribs) 04:26, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey again, a frightening statistic that highlights the importance of your topic - this large naturalistic driving study reported data showing that driving while observably angry, sad, crying, and/or emotionally agitated increases the risk of a crash by 9.8 times compared with model driving. Dingus, T. A., Guo, F., Lee, S., Antin, J. F., Perez, M., Buchanan-King, M., & Hankey, J. (2016). Driver crash risk factors and prevalence evaluation using naturalistic driving data.

Link
Hey! Really interesting topic. Have you thought about including some risky driving laws/penalties from the NSW and ACT road authority websites? May be an interesting addition to you page. Here is a link :) http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/safety-rules/offences-penalties/index.html Goodluck with your page! --U3117399 (discuss • contribs) 02:57, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
