Although the motorcyclists commit a lot of traffic violations that could lead to severe accident. This research measured the motorcyclists’ attitude toward traffic law in order to find out the affecting factors of traffic violations. According to Theory of Reason Action(TRA), we conducted a model of traffic violation behavior which includes latent like attitude toward traffic law, perception of risk and instrumental motivation. The model is measured with Structural Equation Model (SEM) including path analysis. T-test and AVONA are used to confirm if social economical affects attitude toward law. Results show that all paths among latent of the model significantly support the hypothesis. Motorcyclists’ age and driving experience were found to significantly affect their positive attitude toward law by using T-test and ANOVA. Motorcyclists who have over 10 year of driving experience appear to show greater positive attitude toward law. Social-economy characters such as gender, academic degree and experience of traffic accident significantly affect motorcyclists’ negative attitude toward law. By the results we make certain political advice in order to reduce traffic violations and ensure a better traffic environment.
