Funded Activity Summary

Development and evaluation of a motorcycle training intervention. In 2002, motorcyclists and pillions accounted for 224 road deaths in Australia - 13% of the total road toll although motorcycles accounted for less than 3% of all registered vehicles. They also accounted for nearly 20% of serious injuries. This collaborative project aims to reduce motorcycle crashes through an innovative training intervention focusing on the attitudinal and motivational factors influencing rider behaviour. The intervention will be firmly grounded in theory and complement existing training frameworks to produce a highly transferable resource that can be adopted by other rider training centres both in Australia and overseas.
