Samenvatting
Motorcyclists are a relatively vulnerable road user group. They have less protection and a higher risk of serious injury in the event of a crash than vehicle occupants. ATSB discussions with motorcycle organisations suggested that the number of female motorcyclists is increasing. Any change in the pattern of road use has implications for road safety. This paper presents available national data on female motorcyclists killed and seriously injured and discusses the implications for road safety. (Author/publisher)
