Abstract |
: |
This study investigates the association between drivers'
characteristics and their speed citation involvement. Besides driving
experience and accident involvement, the studied characteristics
include monthly income, age, level of education, marital status and
gender type. In order to model the above parameters; regression
analysis was carried out to data gathered from 4774 drivers from
five Arabian Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The data
were collected using a questionnaire involving short answers on the
required characteristics. Official records were not possible to be
used since they do not properly represent the actual drivers'
population, simply because of the considerable amount of tickets
issued to the owners of the vehicles rather than to the violating
drivers. However, the gathered data on speed citations were possible
to be compared indirectly with that officially published. The two
matched reasonably well. The final developed model showed
drivers' age, accident involvement, and monthly income to be
significantly associated with speed citation involvement. Age
showed a negative association and the other two parameters showed
positive associations. In the presence of these variables, all the
remaining variables become unbalanced and are automatically
removed form the model. In the absence of age, driving experience
and level of education become significant. The former is negatively
associated with speed citations and the latter positively. The findings
are believed to be important for law enforcers, driving rehabilitators,
insurance decision makers, and traffic policy makers. |
