| Abstract: | Research suggests an association between risk perception and risk-taking behavior in a variety of contexts. There is empirical
evidence that perceived risk is generally biased and that perception of risk influences behavior. Perception of risk can be
endogenous. It is therefore more appropriate to instrument risk perception. This article studies the perception of the risks
associated with impaired driving and the relation between predicted risk perception and driving behavior. We survey a sample
of license-holders, half of whom are drivers with a past conviction for impaired driving, the other half or control group
without such conviction. Predicted perceptual biases are shown to influence actual driving behavior.
