Traffic accidents lately occur frequently and cause a lot of losses (Margie

at SMK Taman Siswa Mojokerto to obtain a sample of 140 people taken with
total sampling. The variables are the analysis of the factors that cause accidents
in vocational high school students at the Taman Siswa Mojokerto. Data taken
using primary data from respondents. After the data is collected, it is processed
and continued with a descriptive statistical test with the help of SPSS version
16.0. In this study, most respondents were male (99.3%), and most respondents
were aged 14-16 years old or were in the middle adolescent category (87.9%),
vehicle factors were (36.4%) , and environmental factors (6.4%). The age that is
not yet ripe for driving a vehicle, lack of control of behavior, vehicle conditions
that are not considered, unpredictable weather conditions and road conditions
that are not good often make someone have an accident. This is due to the lack
of people about caring for driving safety. Increasing knowledge about the causes
of accidents can be done to be more alert and careful when driving can minimize
