Abstract: Street racing has long been identified as a threat to civil society with significant social and economic impact. In Malaysia, the high fatal accidents rate involving motorcyclists performing illegal street racing has dominated the news in the local newspapers and social media and have caused legislators, regulators and the public to question factors that contribute to these issues. This paper is an attempt to gain greater insight into the factors influencing the risky behaviours associated to violating traffic regulations among the illegal motorcycle racers termed “Mat Rempit” in Malaysia identified in the literature. The findings of this review not only could be used as reference for future research but also as reference by the various authorities to understand the issues more closely.
