Abstract

The Driving style is the manner of the person decides to drive or to their customary driving mode. Where driver behaviour is a contributory factor in over 90 percent of crashes. One of the major characters that have been shown to predict risky driving behaviour is age. Young driver are often less concerned with the probability of the risks caused by traffic situations and more often involved in traffic accident. Young driver risky behaviour is a major factor that leads to higher accident rates and injuries. Hence the study to understand young driver is necessary to be able to propose a countermeasure. In this study, an analysis of the characteristics of young driver will be undertaken to assess driving behaviour and the tendency towards road safety. The focus of this study is was on the individual profile behaviour that associated with greater involvement in driving violations, errors and lapses by using Driver Behaviour Questionnaire. The result of this study confirmed a five factor solution i.e. “Minor Intentional Violations" (25,59%), “Risky Error” (6,06%), “Lapses” (5,39%), “Dangerous Intentional Violations” (5,01%) and “Straying, and Loss of Orientation” (4,57%) When the 28 items were ranked according to their rated mean frequencies, the two most frequently occurring behaviours were: "Sound your horn to indicate your annoyance to another road user" and "Overtake a slow driver on the inside". On the contrary, the least frequent attitude conducted were "drinking alcohol when driving"
