Overview

DPP – R2 looks at a person’s typical attitude and conduct when driving. It focuses on everyday habits behind the wheel, such as courtesy toward others, respect for rules, and how a person tends to respond emotionally in traffic situations. This assessment is useful because driving behavior is shaped as much by attitude and self-control as by technical ability. DPP – R2 helps professionals understand whether someone’s usual driving style leans toward careful, conscientious behavior or toward patterns that may increase risk over time.

What it assesses

This assessment provides an overall view of patterns that tend to shape:

  • How a person approaches rules and limits while driving
  • How courteous or impatient they tend to be with other road users
  • How they respond emotionally to frustration or delays
  • How consistently safety is prioritized
  • How driving attitude reflects conscientious or risky habits

Why professionals use it

Professionals often choose this assessment because unsafe driving is frequently linked to behavior patterns rather than lack of knowledge.

  • Clarify whether a person’s driving attitude supports safe, respectful behavior
  • Add context beyond driving records or self-descriptions alone
  • Highlight tendencies that may affect judgment, patience, or rule-following
  • Help guide fit decisions for roles where responsible driving is essential
  • Bring focus to behavioral factors that influence long-term driving risk

Where it fits well

  • Roles involving regular or professional driving: Useful when safe, courteous driving is a core expectation of the role.
  • Driver training or safety programs: Helps identify attitude-related areas to address alongside practical driving instruction.
  • Road safety and driver behavior studies: Useful for examining trends in driving attitudes and safety-related behaviors across populations.

A helpful professional note

DPP – R2 reflects typical driving attitudes and tendencies under test conditions, not actual driving performance in every situation. Driving behavior is influenced by context, stress, and environment, and attitudes can change over time. Results are best treated as one data point and considered alongside driving history, observation, and situational factors when making decisions.
