Résumé / Abstract
This paper sets out to describe the drivers attending driving licence points recovery courses (PRC), in order to modify the psychologist's approach during the sessions. The paper describes a questionnaire-based survey of a representative sample of 853 drivers taking a course designed to raise awareness about the causes and consequences of road traffic accidents. The data are analyzed in part by applying a multiple correspondence analysis. Among those taking part in PRC, recognizing whether they commit violations or not seems to be independent fromthe perceived probability of sanctioning and the perceived danger. The group of coursetakers is divided into two main clusters (offenders and victims) which require a completely different approach on the part of the training staff.
