2018
Road traffic accidents are increasing with the increase in a number of vehicles and
are likely to become one of the leading causes of death in the near future. This study
has been done with the hypothesis that attitudes and behaviors towards driving can
be predictors of road traffic accidents and losses due to accidents can be decreased
if we control and modify the attitude and behavior of the drivers and the best time to
modify is when the drivers are young. In this study, 225 medical and dental students
in the age group of 17-22 years participated and it was observed that many of them
were having dangerous driving behavior. In order to modify the attitude and behavior
after knowing what is wrong in behavior and attitude of the young population who are
driving or likely to drive shortly so that we can modify their behaviors according to
the Theory of Planned Behavior.
