The study adopts a survey method to elicit responses from a sample of 400 bus driver who were selected as a Respondent. The Data collecting using the Big Five Personality questionnaires, Driver Behavior questionnaires and Road Accident Inventory. The data collected were analysis confirmatory factor analysis and Structural Equation Model (SEM). The SEM results indicated (a) Bus Driver behavior is violent and error have contribution on road accident in Indonesia 8 (b) the big personality factor had significant influences on the latent mediator, path coefficients from -0,50 (conscientiousness) and -0.74 (openness) to -0.75 (ektraversion). As, predicted the effect of conscientiousness, openness and ektraversion were negative and the influences of Neuroticism and agreeableness were positive (path coefficient = 0.35 and 0.81). As expected by the laten mediator variable for road accident risk was relatively strongly and significantly predicted by the latent mediator variable (path coefficient = 0.13). The five personality factor accounted the 38 % of the unique in aberrant driving behavior. The driving behavior have direct influences 55% of the variances in road accident among bus driver in Indonesia. The factor of driver behavior error and lapses have strong affect to road accident The implication this study show that there is need for an intervention program in order to reduce the prevalence of accident involvement due to personality factors. The latter should be focused on managing driving behavior.
