Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate and analyse the safety and increasing accident rate problems in Kuwait. A review of relevant literature has been carried out, then a questionnaire has been piloted and implemented to collect data. The main survey was carried out in 2013. 700 distributed questionnaires resulted in the return of 427 completed questionnaires. Data is limited due to time constraints. Results show that socio economic factors, attitudes and work commitment factors all contribute to the behaviour of road users in Kuwait. There is very little knowledge of modelling and analysing factors that affect drivers’ behaviour towards safety in Kuwait.
