In total, eight factors (unsafe or inappropriate actions, rude or sluggish actions, road conditions and design, police or enforces presence, illegal actions on the road, hazards on the road, rainy condition and obstruction on the road) with eigenvalues above 1.0 and 59 variables that ranged from 0.411 to 0.803, were generated.
