Samenvatting
The 1986 motorcyclist toll indicated a need to critically examine the issue of motorcycle conspicuity since motorcyclists not using headlamps during daytime were nearly three times over involved in fatalities. In order to have a better understanding of the target group's attitudes, knowledge and behaviour in regard to conspicuity interviews were held with 496 motorcyclists in the Sydney Metropolitan area. The findings generally revealed that the overwhelming majority of motorcycle riders believed that it was important to ensure that the motorcyclist is visible to other road users.
