Samenvatting
Investigations into motorcycle accidents with motorcycle carrying not only driver but also pillion passenger have so far been unknown. However, qualitative observations of accidents indicate that, owing to the mutual influencing of the motorcycle riders, this accident type follows a different sequence from one in which the motorcycle is carrying only a driver. With regard to the safety of a passenger car and its occupants in the event of motorcycle impacts, the structure of the side assembly and the testing of its strength are discussed.
