Summary

This study investigates the factors contributing to road traffic accidents among senior high school students in Samarinda, Indonesia, addressing the high mortality and disability rates associated with youth traffic injuries. Motivated by the observation that young riders often possess low risk perception and engage in unsafe behaviors, the research aims to identify specific riding behaviors linked to accidents to inform preventive safety programs. The study employed a cross-sectional observational design involving 315 tenth-grade students who ride motorcycles to school. Participants were selected via proportional random sampling from nine senior high schools representing different districts in Samarinda. Data were collected using validated questionnaires administered by trained enumerators to minimize bias. The dependent variable was accident history, while independent variables included various riding behaviors such as running yellow lights, phone use (calling, texting, listening to music), smoking, speeding (>60 km/h), violating road markings or signs, and carrying more than two passengers. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi-square tests with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results indicated that 30.8% of respondents had experienced a traffic accident. The primary reasons for riding motorcycles were lack of accompaniment (39.4%) and long distance to school (11.7%). Only 1.9% of respondents held a driver’s license (SIM). Statistically significant relationships (p < 0.05) were found between accidents and several specific behaviors: running yellow traffic lights (p = 0.015), making phone calls (p = 0.041), sending SMS (p = 0.000), smoking while riding (p = 0.01), and carrying more than two people on a motorcycle (p = 0.043). Conversely, no significant association was found between accidents and speeding, listening to music, violating road markings, or disobeying traffic signs. The study concludes that specific risky behaviors—particularly phone usage, smoking, running yellow lights, and overloading motorcycles—are significant predictors of traffic accidents among this demographic. The low prevalence of driver’s licenses suggests a lack of formal riding skills and safety knowledge. These findings imply that targeted interventions, such as safety riding training and public awareness campaigns focusing on these specific high-risk behaviors, are necessary to reduce accident rates among adolescent motorcyclists.
