| Abstract | Road accidents are the most extremely recognized factors among the driving violations, a significant behavior is speeding behavior, especially among the young drivers. There are many studies have been predicted the driving behavior by using the theory of planned behavior. In this study, the traditional theory of planned behavior is estimated the young drivers’ (N=1000) driving behavior which is affected by the peer pressure. The results show that young drivers’ driving behavior is mostly influenced by the subjective norms than the two others, attitudes and perceived behavioral control to predict the driving behavior. Additionally, the effect of socio-economic characteristics and the vehicle usage such as gender, age, occupation, income, education and license holding were significant with the notification to the speed limit that young drivers are mostly to drive with the higher speed. |
