I want to research on aggressive and dangerous driving behavior. first I want to know does an aggressive driver necessarily dangerous driving? I mean if one person shows aggressive behavior, I can say '' he is a dangerous driver too''. is it right?
second I want to know the driver's performance reflects his behavior? I mean if I study driver behavior, I can extend it to his behavior. and Can I observe his behavior only with a questionnaire? how?

answer, I would suggest you to read following paper.1. Yang, L., Ma, R., Zhang, H. M., Guan, W., & Jiang, S. (2018). Driving behavior recognition using EEG data from a simulated car-following experiment. Accident Analysis & Prevention, 116, 30-40.
They used two different approaches to study driver behaviour (e.g. Aggressive Versus Un aggressive and Stable Versus Unstable) using driving performance and brain wave data.
Good luck with you work.
As mentioned by others, Batoul, it depends on how you define 'aggressive'. You may wish to include police drivers in your study - they (used to) have a motto 'safety fast' and their driving could certainly be described as aggressive, as can sometimes ambulance and fire engine drivers. But they are trained to drive as they do, so it is questionable as to whether such driving can be considered subjectively or objectively to be dangerous. Conversely, drivers who drive too timidly may be the cause of other drivers to take risks and could in one sense be said to be driving 'dangerously'. Good luck with your research.
Best wishes
