Abstract :
[en] In this paper, the factor structure of the Motorcycle Rider Behavior Questionnaire (MRBQ) is investigated in Vietnam, a developing country with an extensive motorcycling culture. Furthermore, we examine the predictive validity of MRBQ factors, riding information and demographic variables in terms of self-reported near-crashes, crashes, and traffic violations of riders. Exploratory factor analysis of MRBQ (N = 2.254 riders) was performed and revealed a clear four-factor structure of 36 items. The results raise some critical differences between motorists from Vietnam and other countries. Vietnamese riders without a valid license have a lower on-road crash/near-crash rates, and the use of safety equipment paradoxically increased the incidence of crash risks. Furthermore, crash/near-crash liability and offences of Vietnamese riders increased with riding years. Overall, this study gives some further knowledge about the current traffic situations in Vietnam. Besides, the 36-items version of the MRBQ has been explored and could be replicated to investigate riding behaviours in other motorcycling countries. Based on the robust relationships between MRBQ factors and accident risks, new effective on-road safety campaigns can be developed to focus on reducing specific deviant riding behaviours such as traffic errors, speeding and alcohol-related violations in Vietnam.
