Opinion research proyect on justice in traffic. The specific objective of the study is to understand the perceptions, beliefs, thoughts, attitudes and behaviors of Spanish citizens about legislation, policing and justice in the field of traffic offenses.

The results provide valuable information that allowed us to understand how this topic is perceived by the Spanish population, as well as frequencies and motivations very useful in explaining certain driving behavior and its position relative to measures and countermeasures aimed at the solution of the problem.

During this process we try to answer the following questions:

• Are laws and regulations in traffic fair, are appropriate?
• Are supervision and control fair in order to ensure compliance?
• Is it appropriate and relevant?
• To what extent is necessary and/or improvable?
• Is it fair that some infractions cause the accident, damage, injury or death of others?
• What leads man to respect and/or violating a rule?
• Are the penalties for infractions fair?
• Are the ‘established’ sanctions the only alternatives to the infraction?
• Are the legal dissent and/or practice infraction/traffic offense fair, as they are established in our country?
• Is justice in traffic unbiased?
• Is it justifiable to be unfair to a part to be fair to the other? Can you be fair to victims and infractors?
• The tasks performed by the researchers have been: developing the questionnaire, the design of the research methodology, conducting the pre-test, the implementation of the fieldwork, data preparation (encoding, recording, and tabulation), statistical analysis, the development of interpretative report and drafting the final report.

The main results of the investigation are presented in a publication that is available for free:
