Much research has been conducted in the past to try to figure out what factors contribute to the high incidence of road accidents among these high-risk drivers. However, this study is mostly focused on "irresponsible drivers who use cell phones while driving, drink and drive, break the traffic rules, and have vehicles in poor brake and tire conditions. Other than the environment—the rainy season, the dark environment that leads to road accidents. All these factors contribute to the high rate of road accidents in Malaysia.
