Road traffic crashes have been formidable concern for road safety engineer and different techniques have been applied to address such problems. Driving Behaviour is one of the pivotal issue that arises as in every country, state and region; though such issues play significant role in socio-economic development of country. The aim to conduct this study was to estimate driver traits and correlation between violation, errors, and lapses. Questionnaires are used to measure aberrant behaviour and its plausibility to be involved in road traffic crashes. A questionnaire was developed based on the Manchester Driving Behaviour Questionnaire to estimate the correlation. Data was collected from the capital city (Islamabad) of Pakistan. Statistical analysis was carried out to set up the correlation using the Pearson Correlation. It was estimated from the model results that violations are positively associated and correlated with lapses and errors. Lapses are positively associated and correlated to violations and errors. Errors are positively associated and correlated to lapses and violations.
