Porušují řidiči luxusních automobilů častěji dopravní předpisy?

The aim of this thesis is to verify whether drivers of luxurious cars are more likely to violate road traffic regulations. Theoretical background of this analysis consists of standard consumer theory using utility maximization and cost-benefit analysis which provide analysis of illegal behavior. This thesis summarizes the most important parts of economics of luxury and economics of crime and then uses this summary to create assumptions and models. Empirical part is based on city traffic analysis and driving offences that could be committed in order to avoid waiting in traffic jam. Data collected by terrain observations are used to verify that with increasing purchasing costs of a car also increases probability of committing a driving offence. By using assumption, that luxurious cars can be considered as cars with high purchase costs, was proved, that drivers of these cars are more likely to commit such a driving offence. It was also proved that time spent in traffic jam is one main of the factors that influence decision whether or not commit a driving offence.
