Perceptual and attention processes involved in information processing are engaged during every single activity taken by an individual, including driving a vehicle. They are considered to be one of the most important driver characteristics. It is assumed that safe driving consists of quick and accurate spotting and isolating events important for road traffic safety. The other crucial factor is the reduction of the information excess coming to human in one certain moment. Thanks to that, only an important part of stimuli reaching the senses is perceived in a way enabling the use of certain information from memory structures and the launch of further reaction processes.
