Several abnormal driving behaviors in violation of traffic rules can be observed on the road network in Kuwait. These behaviors would likely hinder traffic flow and canworsen traffic congestion. These behaviors may also cause simulation model outputs to deviate from actual traffic conditions. Such aberrant behaviors have not been addressed in the literature, either in terms of the rate of occurrenceor in terms of the factors influencing drivers’ engagement inthese behaviors. This study sheds light on drivers' tendencies to engage in five maneuvers that fall into the category of behaviors that violate traffic rules and could have detrimental effects on traffic conditions in Kuwait. The tendencies of drivers to engage insuch behaviors were elicited through self-report questionnaires. The study found that a significant numberof drivers in Kuwait displaythese driving behaviors. The effects of driver gender, driver age, and annual driving distance on the tendency of drivers to engage insuch behaviors were investigated.
