Vladimir Nikolaevich Shikhanov, Anton Igorevich Sirokhin

Abstract


The present article analyses the structure of psychic attitude of a person towards traffic violation that was committed carelessly. The authors conclude that a participant of traffic in fact does not anticipate the outcomes of his or her own conscious infringing activity that threatens the community. On the basis of recent achievements in Philosophy of Consciousness and Psychophysiology of Upper Nervous Activity the authors make hypothesis on potential ways to prevent careless traffic violations due to realization of violation consequences in the mind of traffic participants.
