About

Steve Stradling is professor of transport psychology in the School of Health & Social Sciences within the Faculty of Health, Life & Social Sciences and is attached to the University’s Transport Research Institute. He divides his time, fairly equitably, between research in traffic psychology – which car drivers and motorcyclists are the crash magnets? – and transport psychology – why are we so ambivalent about our cars?
