PEMANDUAN BERISIKO DAN AGRESIF SERTA PENILAIAN TERHADAP BAHAYA DAN KEMALANGAN JALAN RAYA (Risky and Aggressive Driving, Perception towards Hazardous Situation and Road Accident)

Abstract

Kajian ini bertujuan meneliti sejauh mana cara pemanduan berisiko dan agresif serta persepsi terhadap bahaya mempengaruhi risiko kemalangan jalan raya. Kajian survei telah dijalankan ke atas 296 orang pemandu yang secara sukarela menjadi responden kajian. Mereka terdiri daripada pemandu novis dan pemandu berpengalaman yang berbeza dari segi umur dan jantina. Responden diminta untuk mengisi soal selidik yang berkaitan dengan keagresifan, emosi negatif, pemanduan berisiko, tingkah laku cuai semasa memandu dan tingkah laku melanggar peraturan. Selanjutnya dalam kajian kedua seramai 61 orang pemandu telah terlibat dalam kajian berkenaan persepsi terhadap bahaya di mana video pemanduan agresif ditayangkan kepada subjek dan subjek diminta menilai skala bahaya dan tahap kemarahan subjek terhadap situasi yang ditunjukkan.  Keputusan kajian mendapati terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan di antara emosi negatif dengan tingkah laku melanggar peraturan, tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan antara jantina, umur responden dan pengalaman memandu dengan pemanduan agresif. Dapatan kajian bagi video pemanduan agresif pula, majoriti daripada subjek kajian berasa sangat marah terhadap situasi yang ditunjukkan dan menyatakan situasi tersebut merupakan senario yang berbahaya dan boleh memudaratkan pemandu lain. Implikasi kajian ini ialah perlakuan bahaya boleh mendatangkan kemarahan kepada pemandu lain dan menjadi sebab kepada pengambilan risiko melanggari peraturan serta boleh mendatangkan kemalangan jalan raya.
