Abstract

This report presents analyses of data obtained from Police-reported crashes involving motorcycles in Victoria for the period 1990-1993. The purpose of the analyses was to attempt to identify factors which were over-represented in casualty crashes in three groups of motorcyclists with high risks of crash involvement or high risks of injury. A range of factors which may be related to each group's high risk level was examined. Previous research has shown that these groups have high risks of casualty-crash involvement given equal road-use exposure. The same high-risk groups were used in the present analyses, and seriously and fatally injured riders were compared with less seriously injured riders in the analysis of factors related to high risk of severe injury.
