Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between crowded perception on the highway and the tendency of aggressive driving in teenage motorcyclists. Crowded perception is a factor that influences someone to do aggressive driving. This study is a quantitative correlation study using data collection techniques in the form of a crowded perception scale and an aggressive driving tendency scale compiled by the researcher himself. The subjects of the study were 80 teenagers who in their daily activities use motorbikes and have a driving license. The data analysis technique used was product moment analysis with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed a correlation value of p = 0.000 <0.05 and r = 0.546> 0.220, meaning Ha was accepted. This means that there is a relationship between crowded perception on the highway and the tendency of aggressive driving in motorbike riders. Based on these results, it means that the higher the crowded perception on the highway, the higher the tendency of aggressive driving in teenage motorcyclists. The results of the analysis also showed that men tend to be more aggressive than women when driving. In addition, the level of aggressiveness also showed differences based on age. At the age of 19, aggressive driving behavior appeared higher than other ages.
