Abstract

The effect of antilock braking systems (ABS) on motorcyclist fatal crash risk in 2005-06 was studied by comparing fatal crash rates per registrations of motorcycles with and without ABS. Study motorcycles included those for which ABS was optional equipment and could be identified as present by the model name. Fatal motorcycle crashes per 10,000 registered vehicle years were 38 percent lower for ABS models than for their non-ABS versions. (Author/publisher)
