Abstract
Objectives: Traffic accidents are considered among the leading causes of mortality and severe injuries. Driver behavior is a significant factor influencing this issue. The present study aimed to investigate the status of unsafe driving behaviors and their relationship with road accidents among inter-city drivers in Urmia, Iran, in 2023.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 378 inter-city drivers visiting the Occupational Medicine Center at Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Sampling was performed using a convenience method. The Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) was employed as the standard instrument. Data analysis was conducted using the SPSS (version 24) software at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The highest score for unsafe behaviors was related to non-routine violations, with a mean of 1.33±0.44. Significant positive correlations were found between all four DBQ subscales and road accidents (P<0.001). Linear regression analysis revealed that routine violations and errors significantly predicted 24.3% of the variance in annual accidents.
Conclusion: The present work demonstrated significant associations between unsafe driving behaviors and traffic accidents, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to reduce high-risk driving behaviors.
