ne of the serious problems in Kuwait society is the Road Traffic Accident (RTCs). Our research objective is to find unknown association rules between RTAs and / or driving behaviors from our questionnaire data. RTAs and driving behavior data (n=296) were collected by an online questionnaire. The Apriori algorithm found 1,733 rules and each association rule was scrutinized. If pedestrians-involved traffic accidents occur, then the probability that drivers did not go to driving school was 2.98 times higher. If drivers had eye-related problems (e.g., myopia), the probability of a pedestrians-involved accident was 2.04 times higher. These findings may indicate the importance of driving school experience as well as eye-check at driving license issuance in Kuwait.
