“…Also, educational stage was an influential factor in RTAs’ occurrence as the greatest bulk of mortalities happened among less literate (37%) or illiterate (22%) BuMUs. It is in line with an Iranian study [30] that showed a higher chance of being involved in RTAs among illiterate or less literate drivers with less prestigious occupations. However, education had little impact on accident involvement among Dutch and Taiwanese drivers [29], but for Chinese drivers, the issue was reversed [31].…”

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiological features of bus/minibus users’ road traffic injury mortalities during 2006-2017, in the East Azerbaijan province of Iran. Methods All 245 bus/minibus users’ mortalities, registered in the forensic medicine database, were analyzed by STATA 13 statistical software package. Results The majority of victims (mean age: 41.5±18.6 years) were men (70%), adults (79.18%), illiterate (22.4%) and self-employed (25.3%). Passersby and police played an almost null role in transporting victims since 2014. A decreasing trend of bus/minibus users’ fatalities was observed over the study time. Head-neck-face trauma was more common among those who died prior to hospitalization. Rollover was significantly prevalent among bus users and falling among minibus users. Lorries, vans, and trailers as crash counterpart vehicles caused 59% of deceases, excluding the cases when no other vehicle was engaged. Victims were more likely to die at the hospital when crashes happened in the city’s inner roads (OR: 4.17; 95%CI:1.7-9.9). The elderly were 2.78 times more likely to die at the hospital when compared to the other age groups (95%CI: 1.23-6.26). Conclusions To identify a target group for interventions on traffic-related knowledge, attitude and behaviors, male adults, illiterate and self-employed bus/minibus users could be of priority. Type vehicles involved in the crash should be considered as an important factor affect on crash fatalities. Further investigations are needed in this regard in the future.

“…Since the reviewed studies focussed on the physical environment, future research should investigate the role played by social and cultural environment. For instance, there is evidence of differences in safe cycling culture among countries (Nabipour, Nakhaee, Khanjani, Zirak Moradlou, & Sullman, 2015). As another example, observational studies revealed the influence of social pressure and herding behaviour in violations among cyclists (Fraboni, Marin Puchades, De Angelis, Prati, & Pietrantoni, 2016;Johnson, Newstead, Charlton, & Oxley, 2011;Wu, Yao, & Zhang, 2012).…”

“…As children grow into adolescence, they behave with greater independence and may be exposed frequently to traffic situations, often unsupervised, but without fully-developed skills to engage in traffic [910]. Second, adolescents have a proclivity toward risk-taking tendencies that may lead to injury because adolescent traffic injuries are correlated with risk behaviours on the road [21112]. Third, adolescent habits may increase their risk of traffic injuries.…”

Objectives: Adolescents experience high rates of road traffic injuries and deaths as pedestrians and cyclists. One likely reason for adolescents’ elevated traffic injury risk is their risky behaviour on the road. This study examined Chinese adolescents’ road behaviour using a nationwide survey. Methods: Across 7 Chinese provinces, 4,794 adolescents completed the Chinese version of the Adolescent Road User Behaviour Questionnaire (ARBQ). Results from t-tests and ANOVAs described the road behaviours of Chinese adolescent subgroups, and meta-analytic techniques and Kendall’s correlation analysis compared adolescent road behaviours between China and other countries (Iran and a high-income country composite). Results: Replicating previous reports from other countries, male adolescents in China generally reported more risk-taking on the road than females, and adolescents aged 15 years and over behaved in a riskier manner than younger ones. Adolescents in rural China reported more risky road behaviours than those who lived in cities, and adolescents who lived only with grandparents behaved more riskily than those who lived with parents only or with parents and grandparents. Adolescents previously involved in a traffic injury also reported riskier road behaviours. In cross-national comparisons, Chinese adolescents’ scores on unsafe road behaviours were lower, and scores on safe road behaviours were higher, than those in other nations. However, there were also several commonalities in how adolescents across countries ranked the frequency of engaging in specific risky road behaviours. Conclusions: Gender, age, living environment, and traffic injury experience affect adolescents’ reports of their risky road behaviour. Chinese adolescents reported more cautious behaviour than those in high-income countries and in Iran. Traffic injury interventions for adolescents should consider adolescent development as part of pedestrian safety training; results also have implications for guiding parents on how to supervise adolescents near traffic and on what infrastructure development strategies might best protect adolescents in traffic situations.
