| Abstract | This research intends to learn more about Myanmar automobile drivers and investigate not only the links between risk of motorists’ crashes and self-reported driving practices, but also their attitudes ,opinions and behaviors regarding certain risk factors. The aims of this work are to identify target particular groups and develop ways for driving behavior change in order to reduce risk, and also to provide recommendations to authorities. A questionnaire survey was used to create a cross-sectional analytic observational research. After that, to describe linkages and construct a prediction model of becoming engaged in a traffic crash risk, the typical descriptive measurements and logistic binary regression model were utilized. In the past three years, 30.4 percent (213) of the 701 road users who were concerned in the possibility of a traffic collision with only minor damage, injury as well as close calls (near collision). According to the findings of this study, age, income, alcohol influence, speeding, aggressive behaviors, and fatigue driving all contribute to a higher chance of getting in an automobile crash. The behavioral factors of Myanmar motorists match most of the literature-based risk factors for auto accidents in my study. |
