To examine the crash trends of younger novice and older novice/returning motorcycle riders....
We used a linked database of North Carolina crash and licensing data from 1991 through 2018 that included 103,142 younger novice and 98,540 older novice/returning motorcycle riders. We examined the pe...
Crash rates peak for both younger novice and older novice/returning motorcycle riders immediately after licensure. Crash rates decline rapidly, and the rate of decrease resembles a power function. The...
The crash curve for novice motorcyclists is similar to that of novice car drivers and is consistent with a learning process....
The crash trends of novice motorcycle riders indicate that current training, licensing, and educational efforts are not adequately preparing new riders. Additional efforts to develop more effective tr...
To provide updated statistics on crashes in which another vehicle turns left in front of an oncoming motorcycle and discuss the potential of left turn assist technology....
Motorcycle driver involvements in 2-vehicle fatal and police-reported crashes during 2017-2021 were tabulated by crash type, with a focus on crash types involving vehicles turning....
Crashes in which another vehicle turned left in front of an oncoming motorcycle were, by far, the most frequent type of fatal 2-vehicle motorcycle crash, at 26%....
There is a large opportunity to reduce harm by specifically addressing crashes in which another vehicle turns left in front of an oncoming motorcycle - ideally using a variety of countermeasures simul...
The reconstruction of traffic accidents involving powered two-wheelers (PTWs) frequently proves to be a challenging task. A case in which a fatal head-on crash of a PTW with a small truck where only m...
Motorcycle (MC) rear-end collisions cause many serious injuries and deaths for MC riders. In Thailand, the MC crash investigation data revealed that 18% of all MC crashes were rear-end collisions, whi...
The ordinal logistic analysis was conducted to analyze factors contributing to severe injuries. The analysis to rear-end collision models comprised four categories: M1 (...
When a MC collides with the rear of another vehicle, there are more fatalities than when other vehicles collide with the rear of a MC. Furthermore, the probability of death is higher if MCs collide wi...
In severe crashes, riders with perception failure are more likely to be involved. Based on the findings of this study, some policies and countermeasures can be drawn to prevent MC rear-end crashes and...
Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are among the most important issues worldwide. Several studies reported that infection with the neurotropic parasite Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) increased the risk of ca...
In the setting of a case-control study; 176 motorcyclist men, including 88 survivors of motorcycle accidents and 88 motorcyclist without accidents, were considered as case and control groups, respecti...
Eleven of 88 (12.5%) in the case group and 22 of 88 (25.0%) in controls were positive for anti-T. gondii IgG antibodies, this difference was statistically significant (OR = 0.42; CI: 0.19-0.95, p = 0....
Although latent toxoplasmosis has been associated with traffic accidents in recent reports, we found a negative association between latent toxoplasmosis and motorcycle accidents among survivors of the...
Extreme temperature could affect traffic crashes by influencing road safety, vehicle performance, and drivers' behavior and abilities. Studies evaluating the impacts of extreme temperatures on the ris...
With the growing use of motorcycle antilock braking systems (ABSs) in the European market in recent years, we would expect to see a noticeable reduction in the number of motorcycle crashes. Several st...
Swiss insurance data are analyzed descriptively, and based on these data, regression models are estimated to determine the effect of motorcycle ABSs retrospectively....
Motorcycles equipped with standard ABSs were associated with an 18% reduction in claim frequency compared to motorcycles without ABSs, based on Swiss liability insurance data....
These numbers are in line with the results of other studies estimating the benefit of motorcycle ABSs. This study updates and adds to previous European studies by using insurance data....
Motorcycle injuries remain a significant cause of motor vehicle-related morbidity and mortality in Taiwan. Besides, the facial region is a commonly fractured site under motorcycle accidents. To date, ...
This study aims to determine the facial fracture patterns, the severity of head trauma, and associated injuries by different motorcycle-related trauma mechanisms enabling a greater understanding of it...
This is a retrospective descriptive analysis conducted over a 2-year period at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. We focused on the population of maxillofacial injury caused by motorcycle accidents....
A total of 881 cases were identified that involved facial fractures. Most patients were male (71%), young adult (mean age, 32.49 years), and the most common fracture region is the midfacial fracture (...
Our study presents the different trends of fracture patterns and injury under 3 main mechanisms of motorcycle casualties. We document all these data in the hope of providing insights into trauma docto...
Two wheel motorized vehicles used in both street transportation and recreation are a common cause of severe injury in the United States (US). To date, there has been limited data describing the spinal...
Trauma registry data was queried for patients sustaining a spinal injury after motorcycle collision from 2010 to 2019 at a single Level I Trauma Center. Computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic imag...
A total of 1798 injuries were identified in 549 patients who sustained a motorcycle collision, specifically 67 off-road and 482 on-road motorcycle patients. Off-road motorcycle patients were found to ...
Different fracture patterns were seen between the off-road and on-road motorcycle cohorts. Off road motorcyclists experienced significantly more compression and translational injuries, while on road m...
Many fatal motorcycle accidents occur because car drivers infringe on motorcycle riders' right-of-way. The size-arrival effect refers to observers' tendency to judge larger objects as arriving sooner ...
