The results of the chi-square test showed that there was a relationship between age (p-value=0.002), knowledge (p-value=0.000), attitude (p-value=0.000), driving skills (p-value=0.000) and safety driving behavior (safety riding), and there is no relationship between education (p-value=1.000) with safety riding. Conclusion: There was a relationship among the variables of age, safety riding knowledge, driving attitude, and driving skills, meanwhile there was no relationship between education variable and two-wheel driving safety behavior.
