Components of traffic behaviors, traffic views, and risky behaviors were considered as components of driver risk perception to be evaluated for all drivers according to the variables mentioned. The results showed that higher education did not make high-educated people more likely to be at risk. Also, as people age, their understanding of traffic hazards and their legitimacy increases dramatically. People who have less than 1 year of driving experience have a better understanding of the risk than people who have 1-2 years or 3-5 years of driving experience.
