Factors Influencing Risky Driving Behavior in Young Motorcyclists at Bandung City, Indonesia

Abstract

Risky driving behaviour is one of the causes of road accidents, especially in adolescents. This study is aimed to get factors causing risky driving in teenage drivers in the city of Bandung, based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). The method of this study is descriptive. The population of this study are motorcyclists who are classified as adolescents, have been ticketed for at least 6 months from the data was taken, and have lived in the city of Bandung, at least for 1 (one) year. The sampling technique used is random sampling. By using the instrument to measure intention of behaviour, we collected data from 135 respondents. The finding of this research those are among the three determinants of intention to drive in risk, attitude toward behaviour (ATB) is the most influencing factor for the behaviour. It was followed by Perceived Behavioural Control (PBC) factor that has influenced 22,1%, and interestingly the Subjective Norm (SN) only gave 4,8% as an influencing factor to the risky driving behaviour. By believing that behaviour will have positive consequences, the attitude towards risky driving behaviour becomes positive. The limitations of the study are discussed.

Counterflow riding behavior of motorcyclists: The role of moral obligation and variables in The Theory of Planned Behavior

“…This IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1294/1/012010 4 aligns with previous study, which found that attitude increases the intention to engage in counterflow riding behavior [21]. Previous studies in the broader context have also found that attitude is one of the factors and predictors of risky riding behavior [13,23,30]. This is a reference for this research to hypothesize that attitude is positively and significantly related to counterflow riding behavior.…”

“…Individual attitudes towards counterflow riding behavior can be used as a reference in making decisions to engage in counterflow riding behavior. When the motorcyclist believes the behavior's possible consequences are positive, the individual will be motivated to perform the behavior [23]. This IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1294/1/012010 4 aligns with previous study, which found that attitude increases the intention to engage in counterflow riding behavior [21].…”

“…However, Prahastomo's [24] study on motorcyclists in Jakarta and Depok found that attitude did not affect the intention to do counterflow behavior. Subjective norm, which refers to the perceived social pressure to perform or not perform a behavior [22], were also found to increase the intention to engage in counterflow riding behavior [13,21,23]. Previous research on motorcyclists in Jabodetabek also found that subjective norms, especially descriptive norms, are predictors of rider's intent to engage in counterflow riding behavior [9].…”

“…The three aspects that determine a person's intentions are attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. Attitude, which refers to the positive or negative evaluation of behavior [22], was found to increase intentions to engage in counterflow riding behavior [13,21,23]. However, Prahastomo's [24] study on motorcyclists in Jakarta and Depok found that attitude did not affect the intention to do counterflow behavior.…”

Mobile Phone Use “on the Road”: A Self-Report Study on Young Drivers

“…The relevance of realistic perception of one's skills has also been investigated in traffic psychology, demonstrating that most drivers tend to overestimate their skills (Matthews and Moran, 1986;Hatakka et al, 2002;Yanuvianti et al, 2020). In particular, self-efficacy has been defined as judgment of the ability to organize and perform actions to achieve specific goals (Bandura, 1997).…”
