Abstract
Abstract - Risky driving behavior is one of the causes of road accidents, especially in adolescents. This study is aimed to get factors causing risky driving in teenage drivers in the city of Bandung, based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) from Icek Azjen [1]. The method of this study is descriptive. The population of this study are motorcyclists who are classified as adolescents, have been ticketed for at least 6 months from the data was taken, and have lived in the city of Bandung, at least for 1 (one) year. The sampling technique used is random sampling. By using the instrument to measure intention of behavior from Ajzen [1], we collected data from 135 respondents. The finding of this research those are among the three determinants of intention to drive in risk, attitude toward behavior (ATB) is the most influencing factor for the behavior. It was followed by Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) factor that has influenced 22,1%, and interestingly the Subjective Norm (SN) only gave 4,8% as an influencing factor to the risky driving behavior. By believing that behavior will have positive consequences, the attitude towards risky driving behaviorbecomes positive. The limitations of the study are discussed.
