Motorcyclists are frequently perceived as “speed rebels”
and “risk takers”. It is not uncommon to see a motorcyclist
travelling faster than cars, overtaking more often, and
pulling into smaller gaps in traffic. Risk taking is socially
acceptable when the danger is recognised, such as with
some competitive sports and activities, such as skydiving.
Such a risky behaviour is directly related to driving violations
(Parker, Reason, Manstead, & Stradling, 1995), which
can be defined as deliberate deviation from those practices
believed necessary to maintain the safe operation of a
potentially hazardous system. Studies indicate that there is
a relationship between driving violations and accidents
(Lucidi et al., 2010). Driving violations can be categorised
into two distinct types based on the underlying reason for
the behaviour. In the first type, labelled ordinary violations,
people deliberately break the law, but do not have an
aggressive motivation for doing so. In the second type,
called aggressive violations, the perpetrator is interpersonally
aggressive (Lajunen, Parker, & Summala, 2004).
