Extraversion and neuroticism scores were related to the accident and violation records of a representative sample of 113 young male drivers. A significant positive correlation was found between extraversion and accidents, particularly non‐intersection accidents. A similar significant positive correlation between extraversion and violations may have been confounded with exposure. Neuroticism appeared to be related to accidents only in extreme subjects and when considered simultaneously with extraversion.
