Family Discourse and Its Importance in Traffic Awareness for Young Drivers

Abstract

Traffic awareness is a crucial element in reducing road accidents, achieved through the
dissemination of traffic culture by community institutions such as schools, families, mosques, and
cultural forums. Families play a significant role in traffic awareness due to their direct impact on
the human and material consequences of traffic accidents. This research aims to identify the
family's role in traffic awareness for their young drivers, especially those who frequently use and
operate vehicles. The study is centered around a key question: To what extent does family
discourse contribute to traffic awareness among young drivers? The researcher employed a
descriptive methodology, relying on observation and analysis of its components while linking its
elements. The findings revealed that family discourse has a clear and effective impact on raising
awareness among young drivers through advice and guidance from parents, which helps reduce the
likelihood of traffic accidents and minimizes the resulting human and material losses.
