Abstract

This study, funded by the Motor Accidents Authority of NSW (MAA), aimed to determine the annual distance travelled by registered motorcycles in NSW by make and type. This information was then related to patterns of crash involvement and crash risk for NSW motorcycles. Distance travelled estimates are compared with those from recent Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) vehicle usage surveys. Overall, the preliminary pattern of results reported is not inconsistent with that reported in the Australian and international literature. However, it is of note that the estimated annual distance travelled for motorcycles in the sample was substantially higher than that of the last (2001) ABS estimate. This implies that the exposure to risk of motorcycles may be higher than previously thought. While this moderates the over-involvement of motorcycles relative to passenger cars per distance travelled, the relative risk is still very high.
