The VAI has 114 items and takes 20 to 25 minutes to complete. The VAI has five (5) scales (measures): 1. Truthfulness Scale, 2. Attitude Scale, 3. Driver Risk Scale 4. Stress Coping Scale, and 5. Self-Esteem Scale. The VAI is designed for quick assessment of attitudes and behavior that influence one's driving. The VAI helps defendants explore their attitudes and assess their driving-related behavior in a positive (as opposed to critical) manner.
