Information of the use of safety helmet and goggles by motor cycle and moped riders was collected by Highway Police in connection with its patrol trips during July 15, 1973- August 15, 1973. Information was collected separately towns and rural areas. As a conclusion it may be said that motor cycle drivers are using a safety helmet relatively often (77%) while passengers use it clearly less commonly (55%). The use of safety helmet and goggles by moped riders is very uncommon. Only about 2-3% of moped riders wore a safety helmet or goggles.
