摩托车事故与涉及其他道路使用者的事故有一些不同的特点。这些事故特别包括路权事故，以及在弯道或弯道上失控的事故。英国米德兰警察部队调查了1790起事故案例，其中包括1003起详细案例，涉及所有年龄段的摩托车驾驶者，涵盖1997-2002年。样本中发现，涉及摩托车驾驶者的事故类型(以及它们的责任)存在显著差异。其他道路使用者对摩托车的看法似乎有一个特别的问题，特别是在十字路口。这类事故似乎往往涉及年龄较大、驾驶经验相对较高的司机，但他们似乎在侦测驶来的摩托车方面存在问题。骑摩托车的人自己似乎在其他类型的事故中遇到的问题要多得多，比如在弯道或弯道上的事故。对这些发现的意义进行了讨论。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Motorcycle accidents have somewhat different characteristics from accidents involving other classes of road user. They include in particular,right of way' accidents, and accidents involving loss of control on curves or bends.A sample of 1790 accident cases was considered, including 1003 in detail, from UK midland police forces, involving motorcyclists of all ages, and covering the years 1997-2002 inclusive.Significant differences were discovered in the sample with respect to types of accidents involving motorcyclists (and their blameworthiness). There seems to be a particular problem surrounding other road users' perception of motorcycles, particularly at junctions. Such accidents often seem to involve older drivers with relatively high levels of driving experience who nonetheless seem to have problems detecting approaching motorcycles. Motorcyclists themselves seem to have far more problems with other types of accident, such as those on bends or curves. The implications of these findings are discussed. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
