Extending and updating our knowledge concerning drivers' motivational and cognitive processes is of essential importance if we are to apply policies with long-lasting effects. This study presents data from a representative national survey analyzing the Spanish drivers' beliefs about speed, the risks of speeding, the degree of violation of speed-limits and the reasons for speeding. Results indicate that Spanish drivers rate speeding as a serious offence, yet not among the most dangerous ones. All in all, they claim to comply mostly with the speed limits. However, some interesting violation patterns emerge: observance is lower for generic speed limits according to road type (vs. specific limits shown by certain road signs), and particularly in motorways (vs. single carriageways and urban areas). Risk perception and reasons for speeding emerge as the main factors predicting the levels of speed violations reported. Results suggest that any effective intervention strategy should consider such factors, namely the link between speed, road safety, and drivers' specific reasons for speeding.
如果我们要实施具有长效影响的政策，扩展和更新我们关于驾驶员动机和认知过程的知识至关重要。本研究展示了一项具有代表性的全国性调查的数据，该调查分析了西班牙驾驶员对速度、超速风险、违反限速程度以及超速原因的看法。结果表明，西班牙驾驶员将超速视为一种严重的违法行为，但并非最危险的违法行为之一。总体而言，他们声称大多遵守限速规定。然而，出现了一些有趣的违规模式：根据道路类型的一般限速（与某些路标显示的特定限速相比），遵守情况较低，尤其是在高速公路上（与单车道和城市地区相比）。风险认知和超速原因是预测报告的超速违规水平的主要因素。结果表明，任何有效的干预策略都应考虑这些因素，即速度、道路安全与驾驶员超速的具体原因之间的联系。
