The research subjects are Industrial Engineering students of UPN "Veteran" East Java, while the research object is situation awareness during sunny and rainy weather conditions, with and without being invited to a conversation. The statistical test used is the paired sample t-test. there is no difference in the average SA value or no significant effect on sunny weather conditions without being invited to a conversation and with being invited to a conversation which shows a sig. (2-tailed) of 0.578 0.05. Whereas in rainy weather conditions without being invited to have a conversation and with being invited to have a conversation there is a difference in the average SA value or there is a significant effect on the driver where the sig value.
