Appendix D: PROV Dutch Safety Survey (Translated)

January 2002

Recurrent regional study about traffic safety in the year 2001

Dear Sir or Madam,

Some time ago you volunteered to participate in a traffic study by sending in an answer card. In front of you is the booklet that belongs to this study.

In this booklet you will find various questions about traffic. These questions are about traffic safety, what you have experienced while participating in traffic, what your opinion is about certain traffic issues, etc. These questions are asked on request of the Department of Traffic. This department wants to know more about your behavior while participating in traffic and what are, according to you, the most important measures to make traffic safer.

What do we ask from you?

We would like to be sure that the person to whom this survey booklet is addressed answers the questions himself or herself. It does not matter whether you have a driver's license or not, because there are all kinds of questions in this survey for people who do not possess a license.

We also ask you to read the questions well before you answer them, and to completely fill in the questionnaire. Once all questions answered, please send the completed survey booklet as soon as possible to Traffic Test in the enclosed envelope (a stamp is not necessary).

Have a chance to win a gift voucher!

Once you have completed the survey and included your name and address at the end, you have a chance to win one of the 100 gift vouchers of 20 EURO that will be raffled in the group of approximately 3,000 people submitting the survey.

How to fill in the questionnaire

You can answer most questions by placing a circle in front of the letter or number in front of the answer. Give one answer per question. Only when it is explicitly noted that "you may place a circle around more than one answer" can you give more answers (for instance, question 9). Where you see a dotted line, fill in the answer yourself (for example, questions 1 and 3). For multiple choice questions, put a checkmark in the box that best fits your answer.

If you do not understand one or more questions, you can call Traffic Test (0318-544735). Ask for Irma Avezaat or Arlette Hazevoet.

Your information will be confidential and you will remain anonymous. Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours faithfully,

Drs. I.H. Veling, managing director Traffic Test BV
