Two predictor variables were accounted for 24% of variance on the behavior of drivers. Stress drivers directly affecting road accidents by (β = .13), and driver behavior (β = .07) .Two predictor variables on the driver behavior also reveals that the personality basis directly affects the behavior of the driver (β = .18), followed by stress of the driver have a direct influence on the behavior of drivers (β = .38).
