abstract="The aim was to model the bus drivers' crash involvement risk as a function of their demographic factors and driving behaviour. 177 bus drivers completed a questionnaire containing the BDRI questionnaire. 19.2% of respondents had at least been involved in one at-fault crash during the past three years. In addition, age-group and having a second job were found to affect crash involvement rate. Smoker drivers reported significantly lower scores in Patient driving and Anxious driving factors. <br><br>RESULTS also indicated that vehicle ownership could improve hazard monitoring and thrill seeking behaviours of bus drivers. Logistic regression suggested that ≥55 years old drivers are 5.4 times more likely to be involved in crashes, compared with <35 years old drivers. Model results also implied that the odds of crash involvement would decrease by 39%, for each one unit improvement in the scores of Hazard monitoring behaviour. Implications are further discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
