Seventeen subjects matched for driving experience were divided into four groups according to their accident and traffic violation records. They were tested for their ability to process information. Subjects who had a high accident record processed information at a significantly (p < .01) lower rate than nonaccident subjects. Subjects who had many violations, but no accidents, were the best information processors. There was a significant (p <.01) interaction between accident and violation record. These results and their implications are discussed.
