Driving is an essential component in our daily life and it relationships with quality of life (QoL) shows very limited evidence. The aim of this study is to develop an assessment scale related with the driving attitude among Malay young adult from all over Malaysia, which had multiple socio-demographic backgrounds. The validity and reliability test for item and person value using Rasch model shows .80, followed by .84 Cronbach’s Alpha value. This study would strongly recommend that the use of Attitude towards Safe Driving Scale (ASDS) has a great potential as a predictor to understand human respond and their QoL.Keywords: Educated young adult; road traffic accident; quality of life; attitude scaleeISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.

The human factor is one of the major causes that contributed to a road traffic accident (RTA). This study aims to identify the correlation between sleep duration and safe driving attitude among young adult in Malaysia. The significant relationship showed between Domain (D) 1, 4 and 5 of ASDS-46 with sleep duration (ESS). D1 (self-complaint), D4 (self-concern) has positive correlation (p= .110 and .147) and D5 (driving style) has negative correlation (p=.132). In conclusion, short sleep duration may influence the risk of RTA, and on-road assessment is recommended for further investigation.Keywords: Young adult; Sleep quality; Driver’s attitude; Human factorseISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

The purpose of part II is to explain the correlation between driver's attitude and their quality of life. Based on the previous study, Attitude towards Safe Driving Scale (ASDS-46) was used jointly with and WHOQOL-BREF to examine the relationship. The result showed that ASDS-46 and WHOQOL-BREF have a high level of reliability with Cronbach's Alpha value .887 and .853 respectively. Domain 2 and 3 (psychological & social relationship) shows a positive correlation with the value of (P=.003 and .017). This study concludes that the positive correlation between driver's attitude and the psychological domain is an alarming issue which needs further investigation.Keywords:ASDS-46; WHOQOL-BREF; driver’s attitude; young adult© 2017.The Authors.

The purpose of this study is to identify the correlation between the driver's attitude and internet addiction level by using Attitude towards Safe Driving Scale (ASDS-46) and Internet Addiction Test (IAT). The result showed that ASDS-46 and IAT have a high level of reliability of Cronbach's Alpha value 0.910 and 0.917 respectively. Domain 1, 2 and 4 (self-compliant, self-confidence and self-concern) show a negative correlation with the value of (P=.000 and -.225), (P=.019 and -.111) & (P=.044 and -.095) respectively. This study concludes that a driver who has a high internet addiction level has a risky behaviour to commit road traffic offences.

An occupational therapist who involved with driving rehabilitation should use a proper evaluation in identifying safe driving behaviour during the pre-driving assessment. Many reports have stated that human factors contributed up to 97% of collision. This study aims to develop a psychological evaluation that measures human factors in traffic safety during the pre-driving assessment. This study was involved sequential mix methodology approach. The factor analysis was carried out to determine the validity and reliability of the evaluation (Cronbach alpha .887). This assessment found to be adequate in providing the standard means of risky driving attitude based on the cut off value established.Keywords: Occupational science; Pre-driving assessment; Functional activities; Driving rehabilitationeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

Data then analyzed using the Atlas.ti software. The themes that emerged shows that majority of the respondent agreed that to maintain driver’s competency, there is a need to re-assess, and all qualified drivers and high-risk drivers may need to attend driving rehabilitation program in the future. The data was translated into a proposed model called PreSiM. This study concluded that human components have a high potential to be re-evaluated in the current licensing process.
