The object was to investigate the effect of licensing requirements for motorcyclists on the risk of serious injury in the first year of riding compared to subsequent years. Riders operating on a learner's permit were found to have the highest risk of injury followed by those in their first year of riding. It was clear that more effective training procedures for motorcyclists should be developed. | | Report Number | 2/90 | | Publisher | Road Accident Research Unit | | Publisher City | Adelaide | | Sponsor | World Health Organization, Western Pacific Regional Office | | ISBN | 0908204175 | | Page Count | 37 | | Notes | available from CASR library on request |
