Motorcycle safety is a key concern
► We recognise that motorcycle safety is a key area of concern ► Compared to car drivers, motorcyclists are 19 times more to likely to be killed based
- n VKT
► In 2013, motorcyclists accounted for: ► 39 deaths ► 1125 crashes ► 1188 injuries ► 15 percent of all deaths and 10 percent of all reported injuries on our roads ► 4% of the total vehicle fleet ► Motorcycles have a different safety profile than cars
