abstract="Speeding is an important risk factor of road traffic crashes, and identifying the factors associated with speeding is crucial for road safety. In the present study, face-to-face roadside interviews were conducted to investigate the reasons of speeding among Turkish drivers at six different data collection times in two different cities. A structured interview was administered to collect data from a total of 3317 and 1559 drivers in Ankara and Afyon cities, respectively. <br><br>RESULTS from the two cities consistently revealed that drivers' self-reported speeding frequency was partially determined by gender and age. Also, perceiving speeding as a cause of crashes was associated with lower frequency of speeding. Finally, thinking that speed tickets are a means for increasing government income and that it would be safe to exceed the speed limit if driving &quot;safely&quot; was positively associated with frequency of speeding. These findings indicate the importance of norms and (biased) perceptions in speeding behavior.   Keywords: speeding; interviews; road traffic crashes; self-reported; Turkey<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
