Traffic accidents are one of the biggest causes of death in the world. Risky driving behavior contributed greatly to the incident. Many influencing factors, both internal and external, have been investigated such as individual character, psychological factors, and the conditions of the built environment. However, there is still few studies that link it with law enforcement, especially with the use of technology, while this has implications for the behavior of motorcyclists. Sumenep Regency has the third highest level of risky driving behavior, especially not wearing a helmet in East Java Province. This study aims to identify the factors that influence risky driving behavior based on spatial, law enforcement, and psychological perspectives, especially Sumenep Urban which includes Sumenep City District and Kalianget District. The objects of risky driving behavior in this study namely driving against traffic flow, turning vehicle without warning, using gadgets when driving, not wearing helmets, red-lights running, speeding, overtaking carelessly, and a combination of these risky driving behaviors. The research approach are qualitative and quantitative with structural equation modeling analysis method using SmartPLS 3.3.1. The results shows that 49.9% of respondents doing a combination of risky driving behavior. Not wearing helmet is the most risky driving behavior carried out by respondents, 42.9%. The highest travel purpose when doing risky driving behavior is socializing, 37%. More riders engage in risky driving behavior on main roads, arterial class, national status, and road width 8-14 meters. The biggest reason or motivation for drivers to carry out risky driving behavior is traffic conditions that allow (67.95%), while the biggest reason for not engaging in risky driving behavior is the presence of traffic officers (88.67%). The research model shows that the three aspects have a direct influence, but the psychological aspect, especially perceived behavioral control, has a greater influence on the incidence of risky driving behavior. The spatial and law enforcement aspects that have a major influence are the characteristics of the intersection -the presence of CCTV cameras and Traffic Lights- and the lack of vigilance in supervision and disobedience to the law. However, each factor does not have the same direct influence -both magnitude or direction- on all types of risky driving behavior. Iniv addition to direct influence, psychological aspects and law enforcement have indirect effects or act as intervening variables. Specifically, risky driving behavior through red-lights running and driving against traffic flow, both of which can be explained more clearly through law enforcement aspects than spatial or psychological aspects.
