Samenvatting
Motorcycle accidents in Canada are found to be more frequent (per registered vehicle) and much more severe than accidents involving other vehicle types only. In general, motorcycle accidents occur under predominantly favourable environmental conditions. Two out of three cases involve another vehicle and almost half occur at intersections. General conclusions, and conclusions relating specifically to fatal, rural and single-vehicle motorcycle accidents are presented. Data short-comings are discussed with suggestions given for further data gathering and analysis.
