main cause of death in the age-group of 15 to 19 with the death incidence of this age-
group was 9.8 per 100,000 inhabitants. According to the Republic of Indonesia State

accidents of students who rode motorcycles. One of the techniques of reducing the
rate of traffic accidents and its effect, based on health paradigm, is through Safety
Riding education. The objective of the research was to find out the correlation of the
history of traffic accidents, sexes, and SIM (driver's license) C ownership with
knowledge, attitude, and action of Grade XII High School students before Safety
Riding education and the difference in their knowledge, attitude, and action in riding
motorcycles before and after Safety Riding education in Medan
The Research is done by quasi quantitative experiment with non-randomized
control group pretest-posttest design. The population was all Grade XII High School
students in Medan who could ride motorcycles and 30 of them from experiment and
control groups respectively were used as the samples, taken by using purposive
sampling technique.

showed that there was significant correlation of the history of traffic accidents with
knowledge, attitude, and action (p = 0.020; 0.000; 0.002), there was no correlation
of sex with knowledge, attitude, and action (p = 0.068; 0.223; 0. 7000), there was
significant correlation ofSIA1 C ownership with knowledge and attitude (p -= 0.010;
0.022), and there was no significant correlation between SIM C ownership and action
(p =0 0.052). There was the difference of the respondents' knowledge, attitude, and
action in riding motorcycles before and after Safety Riding education was in effect in
Medan (p = 0.000; 0.024; 0.003).
It is recommended that collaboration between the Education Service and
