If the internal characteristics of the bus drivers interact with the factors of the engine and the road environment, it will contribute to the safety driving behavior that may cause accidents.
A systemic random sampling was employed in this present research to take the buses entering into the terminal each here where the data on the drivers were determined as the sample. The criteria of the drivers who had been taken as the sample would be substituted by the bus drivers with the order of the fifth interval for the next sample.
From the results an analysis, it is known that the variables of age, ethnic group, and experiences of 3–4 accidents in the last one year contribute to the safety driving behavior.
