The book brings an expert perspective on widespread but incorrect ideas about road safety. Through interviews with therapy course participants and lecturers, we uncovered fifteen essential myths, which were subjected to professional research and critical re-evaluation in order to provide lecturers and therapists with comprehensive information for their work.
The publication seeks to increase road safety through education and clarification of facts that contribute to the elimination of incorrect beliefs among drivers. The emphasis is on the scientific
approach and precision, with the book serving as a bridge between theory and practical application in therapy programs.
