One of the important factors of road safety is drivers' behavior. It is very useful to examine the factors of driver behavior to reduce the human factors to improve road safety. The objective of this study is to employ Manchester driver behavior questionnaire (DBQ) to measure various types of driver behavior in Kuwait. Data collection was performed by using an online questionnaire. The factor analysis was used to examine the data which compute into three factors structure. However, these three factors could not be classified into errors, lapses and violations categories as other studied due to social desirability bias. The future studies should examine this issue further.
