Abstract
In recent years physicians have seen more and more injuries and deaths as a result of the increase in motorcycling. Physicians with patients who drive motorcycles or who have children who drive, or plan to drive, have an unusual opportunity of practice preventive medicine by giving counsel the safe operation of such vehicles. This guide has been compiled by the American Medical Association's Committee on Medical Aspects of Automotive Safety to give physicians general background information and suggestions which should be of help in cutting down the tragic and increasing toll of injury and death.
