Abstract
The road traffic accidents and injuries were increased by each year. Mostly the accidents that occurred will involving the distracted drivers while driving. Distraction while driving is any activity that could divert a person's attention away from the primary task of driving.

The results from this study showed that the most drivers have involved in driving distraction influenced by perceived social norms toward voluntary distraction. Radio-operating and phone texting were identified as the most distraction tasks among the respondents involved in this study. It is based on the total eye glance of the respondent from their focus in this tasks. Furthermore, phone texting also be ranked as the most distracting tasks by 19 respondents out of 21 number of respondents. The relationship between socio-demographic with drivers’ distraction based on SDDQ and experimental tasks show that age and gender as the influenced parameter that correlated with all the question in SDDQ and experimental tasks.
