Road accidents are a social phenomenon in different communities that its infra-structural dimensions of which as well as technologic failures such as road quality, and tech-nical faults of automobiles, need to be assessed in detail. Iran has the first order in the world for deadly road accidents. This study was designed to assess the association between aberrant behaviors of truck drivers and the incidence of road accidents in Yazd, center of Iran, in 2010.
This cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study was conducted on 300 truck drivers in Yazd. We used 3 questionnaires, including one for demographic data, Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ), and one for drivers' self-evaluation of the of their driving.
Five types of the behavior had the highest frequency: Misjudge speed of oncoming vehicle when overtaking.; Deliberately disregard the speed limits late at night or very early in the morning.; Ignore 'give way' signs, and narrowly avoid colliding with traffic having right of way.; Stuck behind a slow-moving vehicle on a two-lane highway, you are driven by frustration to try to overtake in risky circumstances.; Drive with only 'half-an-eye' on the road while looking at a map, changing a cassette or radio channel, etc. The more the driver's driv-ing was influenced by emotional and mental states the more deliberate violations and slips.
Among truck drivers, safety has not developed sufficiently, and because of the dangers of road accidents both for the drivers and other people and its economic losses, the importance of the presenting some solutions is completely obvious.
道路交通事故是不同社区中存在的一种社会现象，其基础设施层面以及诸如道路质量等技术故障和汽车技术故障都需要详细评估。伊朗在致命道路交通事故方面位居世界首位。本研究旨在评估2010年伊朗中部亚兹德市卡车司机的异常行为与道路交通事故发生率之间的关联。
本横断面描述性分析研究对亚兹德市的300名卡车司机进行。我们使用了3份问卷，包括一份用于收集人口统计学数据的问卷、驾驶员行为问卷（DBQ）以及一份用于驾驶员对自身驾驶进行自我评价的问卷。
有5种行为出现频率最高：超车时误判对面车辆速度；在深夜或凌晨故意无视速度限制；忽视“让行”标志，险些与有优先通行权的车辆相撞；在双车道公路上被一辆慢速行驶的车辆挡住，因沮丧而在危险情况下试图超车；一边看着地图、更换磁带或广播频道等，一边“半心半意”地开车。驾驶员的驾驶受情绪和心理状态影响越大，蓄意违规和失误就越多。
在卡车司机中，安全意识尚未得到充分培养，而且由于道路交通事故对司机和其他人都有危险以及造成经济损失，提出一些解决方案的重要性是完全显而易见的。
