Abstract:

Highlights•Awareness of the characteristics of other transport modes can affect road accident risks.•We study perspective-taking ability, with the driving licence as a deciding factor.•Senior citizen pedestrians without a licence are likely to be involved in more accidents.•Those who had a two-wheeler licence have lower left-turn entanglements risks (Japan is left-driving).•Educational interventions should encourage users to consider others’ perspectives.
