Here is one of the classic research papers on the subject:

Iain A. McCormick, Frank H. Walkey, Dianne E. Green, Comparative perceptions of driver ability— A confirmation and expansion, Accident Analysis & Prevention, Volume 18, Issue 3, 1986, Pages 205-208, ISSN 0001-4575, https://doi.org/10.1016/0001-4575(86)90004-7.

"Hi, this is a recorded interview for a study we are running, have you ever committed an illegal act?"

"Nah."

"Thanks."

Can you see the bias?

I would indeed see the bias if that was the question that they were asking. Was it?

Almost.

They were asked to answer whether they considered themselves "foolish, unpredictable, unreliable, inconsiderate, dangerous, tense, worthless and/or irresponsible". Very few people would have answered truthfully.
