This lack of maturity will have a negative impact on child safety. Based on the interview results, it was found that students did not have a driver's license, did not use personal protective equipment, drove at high speed and had had an accident. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of knowledge, attitudes, driving license ownership and driving experience on safety riding behavior at SMK Negeri 3 Sorong City.
