Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) released a comprehensive analysis of fatal motorcycle crashes titled “Recent Trends in Fatal Motorcycle Crashes” (See C 23482) in July 2001 and two research notes “Motorcyclist Fatalities in 2000” (See C 23483 fo) in December 2001 and “Motorcyclist Fatalities in 2001” (See C 24957 fo) in February 2003. The report examined trends and rates of motorcycle riders (motorcyclists) killed in motor vehicle crashes during the ten year period 1990-1999 and the research notes compared the trends and rates in the report with the 2000 and 2001 data. This research note focuses in detail on the problem of alcohol involvement in fatal motorcycle crashes based on who are involved, where and when the crashes occur and other crash charateristics.
