The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of variables such as personality traits, driving behavior and mental illness on road traffic accidents among the drivers with accidents and those without road crash.
Methods:

The data were analyzed using the SPSS software by performing the descriptive statistics, t-test, and multiple logistic regression analysis methods.
