Abstract
This study aimed to identify the crucial determinants provoking the hydraulic honking behaviors among motor vehicle drivers. It was a cross-sectional study with 206 drivers randomly selected from Dhaka city. Data were collected using a semi-structured pre-tested questionnaire. Miserably, the study revealed that is almost half (44.7%) of the respondents were identified as hydraulic horn users. Most of them were used in overcrowding (23%) and overtaking (18%) situations. The study analyzed the significant predictors associated with the behavior of hydraulic horn use. Youngers (AOR= 5.81, p < 0.01); illiterate (AOR= 10.6, p<0.01) drivers used hydraulic horn in the motor vehicles.
