Abstract |
Nowadays, it is relatively common to follow traffic rules, such as wearing a helmet and
fastening seat belts, but accidents are increasing daily. Concerned with these traffic safety issues,
this study focuses on the psychology of bike riders. First, a brief questionnaire is prepared by filtering
some significant traffic safety factors. For effective results and analysis, a questionnaire
survey (i.e., interviews) is conducted across different road junctions in Sargodha, Pakistan, with the
assistance of traffic police. The data is analyzed through a multiple regression analysis, forming a
different model for effective outcomes. A risk compensation hypothesis theory is considered; based
on the questionnaire designed and the input received from participants, three models are developed
with significant variables. The first two models evaluate the physical impact of helmets on
riders/cyclists, while the third observes changes (in terms of obeying traffic laws) in behavior when
wearing a helm
