This is a book about shifting road users' negative attitudes towards positive mindsets. This change in defiant attitudes should see more compliant road users' behaviour. In order to explain the way in which attitudes can be improved, this book presents a new spectrum of positive and negative attitudes towards road safety. This new continuum of attitudes should replace the old agree-disagree, tolerant-intolerant or approve-disapprove system. With the contents of this book, it is now clear that attitudes are not expressed in a binary manner. Instead, there is a range of at least ten attitudes (five negative and five positive), which have specific names. This is an ideal book for road users' groups, road safety advocacy groups, politicians in transport portfolios, road safety departments, road safety associations, academics with a keen interest in road safety, law enforcement agencies with responsibilities for road safety, vehicle manufacturers and road designers.

Biografisk notat

João Canoquena completed his first doctorate degree at the Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety, Queensland University of Technology, Australia, through a thesis by publication. In 2019, he saw the publication of his first road safety-related book, "Road Safety Management in Africa: The Need to Calibrate Effort". A year earlier, he had been invited to advise the inquiry into the effectiveness of the 2011-20 national road safety strategy in Australia. A regular journal reviewer, Dr João Canoquena had two studies published in 2024. The second of these scientific investigations examined workflows in government-community coordination projects aiming at curbing road deaths and injuries in some OECD countries. It was published in the Journal of Road Safety, Australia. His other studies have been published in the Transport Policy and the Journal of Transport Geography. Dr João Canoquena has also worked as a road safety professional, and as a Road User Safety Officer for Transport for NSW, Australia. He has been a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety, Queensland, Australia.
