Introduction: Driving accidents in Saudi Arabia are very common and the main reason is that it’s the most common transport method in the KSA. Little research has been conducted on the issue. The purpose of our research is to assess the attitude of medical students in our university, while driving. Students use their mobile phone more because of the increased number of applications on smart phones. Methodology: The study design is a across sectional study, based in the medical department in Majmaah university. The sample size comprised 218 students, and data were collected by pre tested questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS. Results: Students who use a mobile phone while driving were 87%. Most of the students use their mobile phone while others are in the car (59.5%). Conclusion: We have observed that 87% of the students said that they use a mobile phone while driving and the majority of those who had negative impacts (74.7%), are still using their mobile phone (81.6%).
