Keywords:
driving factors, accident using, motorcycles, security enhancing factorsAbstract
The purpose of this study was to study the factors of driving that cause motorcycle accidents and to study the relationship between personal characteristics of driving factors that cause accidents from driving a motorcycle as well as safety-enhancing factors for reducing 3E motorcycle accidents within the college. The sample group used in this study was 76 students at the vocational certificate level of this Polytechnic by using questionnaires as a research tool (Data was collected on 10 June 2019, which is the reason for collecting only the vocational certificate level students because other students were having practice vocational experience in the workplace). The statistical parameters which were used as representative of this study were number, percentage, average, standard deviation. The results of the study revealed that; (1) the driving factors that cause the students to have motorcycle accidents are mostly due to the driving behavior, and (2) when studying personal characteristics, it was found that students’ personal factors were grade level factors, length of “study experience” in driving a motorcycle, modified motorcycle conditions, and the period of obtaining a motorcycle driver’s license in relationship with driving factors that cause motorcycles accidents as well safety enhancing factors to reduce motorcycle accidents (3E) within the college, with a statistically significance level of .05
