risky driving behavior. A total of 113 respondents who were young driver fill in Manchester Driver Behavior
Questionnaire (MDBQ) which is used to investigate risky driving behavior that are aggressive violation,
ordinary violation, errors and lapses. Glazer personality-type questionnaire was used to assess type-A
personality. Respondents are also asked to perform driving task in driving simulator. In this simulator, the
respondents were asked to simulate driving task using city car driving software for 1 h and scores of violations
