Summary/Abstract: Communication is the maintaince of connection between distant points, also speaking, thought transfering, connectivity. Traffic communication is nowadays one of the most important changes in the life of a modern human. The number of vehicles is growing, and driving safety depends primarily on psychological predispositions of those who drive. Not everyone should be, a driver, as shows the presented study. They revealed that the correct driver functioning and behavior, efficient handling and a valid driving style are influenced vastly by psychological factors, not gender nor profession. The description and classification of activities, reactions and behaviors at driver work is based on their nature, characteristics, as well as laboratory and natural experiments attended by the drivers and driving instructors. They helped to prepare a typological scale which identified five types of drivers - type A, B, C, D and E. The proposed typological driver scale and the results of experiments drivers provide important scientific and practical information for psychological examination of future drivers. They clarify the issues of diagnosing drivers. They also deepen the knowledge on the causes of road accidents. May be helpful in training practice and explaining the causes of disturbances in the drivers behavior.
