Background: Human behavior has been worldwide reported as the main cause of road accidents. It has been mentioned that beliefs probably impress the driver’s perception, and consequently, the driving behavior. It could be more important for professional drivers. Taxi drivers account for a high proportion of professional drivers. This study aimed at exploring belief-oriented safety-seeking behaviors in taxi drivers. Methods: In this phenomenological study, eleven drivers were invited from different areas of Zanjan (in Iran). Using purposeful sampling, six in-depth interviews (IDIs) and one focus group discussion (FGD) were conducted. Findings: In almost all the interviews, the participants highlighted the observance of traffic regulations and concentration on driving were the causes of accidents, however, they adopted other actions to be safe while driving. In this study, three themes emerged. The first two themes (verbal and practical endeavors) were mainly related to religion. Nonetheless, beliefs that were not related to religion (mental endeavors) emerged, as well. Conclusion: The drivers’ belief-oriented safety precautions are rooted in secondary and socio-instrumental control beliefs. From the point of view of road traffic safety, investments to change these beliefs do not seem to be necessary
