5 Thesis Topics About Driving Behavior and Traffic Fatalities in the Philippines

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

A young man in his early 20s was killed instantly last month on EDSA. A rear-end collision. He was just trying to get home. His parents were waiting. He never made it. His story is not rare. It is now normal. That is the horror. Every day, people are dying on Metro Manila’s roads. And we act like it’s just traffic.

This is not a traffic problem. This is a public safety failure. The data is clear. The deadliest roads are not getting safer. Young people are dying. Mostly men. Mostly drivers. The crashes are happening at night. The causes are mostly human error. Speeding. Distraction. Poor road design. Lack of real consequences. What’s really wrong? We have normalized death on the road. And we still don’t fully understand who, where, and why this keeps happening.

Get Your Thesis Title — or Keep Getting Rejected

Bestie, let’s stop pretending you’ve “got it covered.”

You’re here because:

• Your title keeps getting rejected

• You don’t know the difference between a “topic” and a “research gap”

• You’re guessing your way through something that decides your graduation

And let’s be real — you’ve already:
❌ Tried making titles from scratch
❌ Watched “How to Write a Thesis Title” TikToks
❌ Copy-pasted topics from other people's thesis (ooops?)

Still stuck? Exactly.

You don’t need more ideas.

You need a system.

That’s what the Thesis Toolkit gives you:

✅ YTB Thesis Title Booster – because you need legit, research-based topics based on current trends — not random ones na “maganda pakinggan.”

✅ Thesis Title Builder – because you keep forgetting na kailangan may survey source or research instrument ka rin, hindi lang title.

✅ Research Gap Finder – because most of your drafts get rejected for one reason: Walang gap.

YOU NEED THIS IF...

• You're tired of starting over

• You're afraid to open your adviser’s feedback

• You want a title, gap, and source na adviser-friendly and academically sound

This isn’t optional.
It’s either you use this toolkit...
or you keep wasting weeks writing titles na walang mapupuntahan.
