الملخص EN

The aim of this study is to show the relationship between driving behavior and unrealistic optimism, in addition to demographic factors and drivers’ optimism, which are important in the influence exerted on the risky driving behavior.

A sample of 59 young drivers, aged between 18 and 35 is adopted.

Two scales have been used in the study, the scale of unrealistic optimism (Bader M.

Alansari, 2001) and the scale of risky driving behavior perception (Pal Ulleberg and Torbjørn Random’s questionnaire, 2003).

The results showed the influence of unrealistic optimism on the risky driving behavior perception, and significant correlations exists between risky driving behavior (Self-assertiveness and speeding) and unrealistic optimism.
