Using a cell phone while driving does not only impact traffic safety but also to vehicle operational cost. According to the background, it required to research the effect of mobile phone use of drivers to vehicle operational cost. Purpose of this research is to determine the characteristics of motorists who use a cell phone while driving on street Perintis Kemerdekaan, Makassar and to determine the effect of mobile phone use of drivers to vehicle operating costs on street Perintis Kemerdekaan, Makassar. This research will be conducted at street Perintis Kemerdekaan, Makassar, in front of The Regional Military, with a segment length of 100 m. Methods for vehicle operational cost are Pacific Consultant Indonesia and Department of Public Works, with vehicle components that affect vehicle operating costs, namely fuel consumption, engine oil consumption, mechanical costs, vehicle depreciation, tire usage, spare parts, capital interest, insurance, and unexpected costs. Both of these methods include the speed value as the main parameter for analysis. Male combinations use mobile phones more when driving than women. Where the influence of the use of mobile phones while driving on driving speed is also influenced by factors of age and gender. The effect of the use of mobile phones while driving on vehicle operating costs using the PT.PCI method is IDR. 3261,9088 / km to IDR 4257,822 / km. The effect of using a mobile phone while driving on vehicle operating costs using the 2005 Public Works method varies from IDR 942 / km to IDR 1,147 / km.
