Abstract :
This study intends to ascertain the risk
factors in traffic accidents in the chosen Municipality in
the Partido Area, Bikol Region V. A. Y 2019–2022, as
well as the degree of traffic law awareness.This study
used document analysis from the records that were
available from the Municipal Police Station of San Jose,
Goa, Tigaon, and Sangay in Partido Area Camarines
Sur from 2019 to 2022. This study employed a
quantitative data collection method and a descriptive
design to assess respondents' knowledge of traffic laws.
Findings showed that human variables, such as
inattentive drivers, impaired drivers from alcohol or
drugs, weariness, a lack of driver education, and
destructive driving, for example, made up 73.33 percent
of the risk factors in road crash events.According to the
respondents' (2.61WM) knowledge of Philippine traffic
laws, it is illegal to drive while using a cellphone, argue
with a passenger, follow a vehicle too closely, overtake
recklessly, listen to music while driving, ignore traffic
signs, lack of skill, and drive without first checking the
vehicle. The public safety office and the law
enforcement agency may utilize the study's findings as a
starting point when implementing traffic regulations
and ordinances in the future.
