Hubungan Karakteristik Individu Terhadap Perilaku Aggressive Driving Pada Pengemudi Angkutan Kota Di Kota Makassar

Abstract

Aggressive driving behavior often occurs in drivers who are indifferent to safety but drive in a reasonable state. Aggressive driving is driving behavior under emotional disturbances that impose a level of risk on road users. The study aims to determine individual characteristics (age, education, marital status and driver status) on aggressive driving behavior in city transportation drivers. The type of research is observational with a cross-sectional study design. The population and sample are all city transportation drivers, totaling 117 drivers. The sampling technique uses total sample (exhaustive sampling) and data analysis uses chi square and logistic regression. The results of the study showed that age (P = 0.240) was not related to aggressive driving behavior. Education (P = 0.001), marital status (P = 0.001), driver status (P = 0.001) are related to aggressive driving behavior. While the most related variable is driver status (Exp. (B) = 7.250). The conclusion obtained is that aggressive driving by drivers in driving is greatly influenced by factors of education, marital status and driver status. It is expected that the government, especially the transportation department, will facilitate transportation drivers to improve their driving knowledge in order to minimize accidents.
