Abstract

This study attempts to determine long-haul bus drivers’ attitudes towards traffic safety and inappropriate driving behaviours (IDBs) while ferrying passengers. Using a quantitative method, a total of 184 long-haul bus drivers were involved in the survey. The findings reveal that there was a relatively positive relationship between long-haul bus drivers’ IDBs and attitude towards traffic safety. However, the relationship wasweak as other factors that were excluded might have a contribution to it. Bus drivers’ experience of being ticketed has been shown to have significant influence on inappropriate behaviours and attitude towards safety. However, for experience of road accidents, significant difference was only seen in inappropriate behaviours and was not evidenced in attitude towards safety.
