摘要
An analysis of data from 1508 motorcycle accidents obtained from Victoria Police files for the year 1974 indicates that inadequate motorcycle visibility is an associated factor in 64.5% of automobile/motorcycle collisions. It is the sole identifiable cause of 21.0% of collisions. The conspicuity of the front of the motorcycle is found to be vitally important in these accidents. © 1979.
