Age, gender, driving experience, risk perception, attitudes, norms and some other psychological and socio-cultural factors have been mentioned as reasons that rules driver behaviors about mobile phone.
We examined the effect of age, driving experience, sensation seeking and educational level in answering rate of participants to mobile phone calls in observational driving scenarios.
While the scenario started to play and after the mobile phone rang, they were asked to answer this question that if they were the driver of the simulator car, do they feel safe to drive and answer the mobile phone call under observed circumstances simultaneously (speed, distance and road type)?
Call answering rate while driving Participant's decisions to answer or not the mobile phone call were recorded in 6 scenarios differing in road type and speed.
We found that driving scenarios designed in this study cannot predict driver's behavior toward mobile phone.
In this point of view, logistic regression analysis showed that, overall, sensation seeking significantly accounted for driver's willingness to answer mobile phone calls above and beyond variables like age and different type of driving scenario.
This variable is an important factor that can change driver's decision on answering mobile phone while driving.
Conclusion Many studies have used questionnaires and interviews as data gathering tools for investigating the reasons underlying driver's decision to use mobile phone while driving.
According to our findings, we concluded that answer to mobile phone calls is more related to personality traits like sensation seeking than objective risk of driving environment.
