abstract: While driving, drivers often engage in aberrant driving behaviors, increasing their risk of getting involved in road crashes. The present study examines the human factors affecting aberrant driving behavior among professional Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) drivers and investigates the relationship between behavioral factors, demographic variables, and crashes. A total of 135 drivers participated in a self-reported survey by responding to the driver behavior questionnaire (DBQ). Exploratory factor analysis performed on DBQ revealed three behavioral factors: violations, errors, and positives. It was found that behavioral factors (violations, errors, and positives) and demographic variables (education, driving experience, and alcohol consumption) were significant predictors of crashes. However, driver's age and marital status were not associated with crashes. The study highlights the importance of positive driver behaviors in reducing crashes; thereby, suggesting it as one of the essential components of driving behavior that should be integrated into driver training programs.
