Abstract
Consecutive road traffic accidents attenders with multiple or ‘whiplash’ neck injuries
were assessed following the accident, at 3 months and 1 year. Considerable changes
in vehicle-driving behaviour and in attitudes to travel were reported. Concern about
travel as a driver and as a passenger was usual. A sizeable proportion of subjects
suffered severe and persistent anxiety associated with limitations of everyday life.
The findings have implications for clinical assessment and treatment, road safety,
and medical reports in compensation proceedings.
