In 2024, around 5.94 thousand road traffic accidents caused by motorcycles were reported in Japan, down from about 8.83 thousand accidents in 2015. Partly prompted by stricter penalties for traffic law offenses, accidents have shown a continuous downward trend in Japan for years. Are Japan’s roads safe? Japanese roads are comparably safe due to several factors ensuring responsible driving, such as meticulous traffic regulations, a license point system, seatbelt usage, and modern vehicles in use. Concurrent to the low number of motorcycle accidents, injuries stemming from accidents involving motorcycles also decreased over the past decade. A contributing factor might be the preference for smaller engines, making accidents less likely due to lower speeds and a lighter machine weight, allowing easier handling. Who is to blame for "road rage"? Japan revised its road rage law in summer 2020, the amended Road Traffic Act now imposing stricter penalties for aggressive driving and road rage. Obstructive driving and malicious behavior are punishable even without casualties with up to three years of penal servitude and 500 thousand Japanese yen. Despite the penalties and a record low of domestic road traffic accidents, road rage incidents continue to make headlines in Japan and preoccupy the authorities. The National Police Agency (NPA) regularly denounces not only the notorious biker gangs called bōsōzoku, but also kyūshakai. These "classic bike gangs" often center around former bōsōzoku, but tuned classic motorcycles and likewise senior bikers characterize them. They are basically accused of the same misconducts, namely irresponsible driving and noise nuisance in large convoys, disturbing the peace.

The graph illustrates the number of motorcycle deaths in the United States from 1994 to 2023. The x-axis represents the years, spanning from '94 to '23, while the y-axis indicates the annual number of motorcycle fatalities. Over this 29-year period, the number of deaths increased from 2,320 in 1994 to 6,335 in 2023. Notable figures include a low of 2,116 deaths in 1997, a significant rise to 5,312 in 2008, and the highest number of 6,335 deaths in 2023. The data shows a general upward trend in motorcycle-related deaths, with periods of fluctuation such as a slight decline between 1994 and 1997, steady increases from the late 1990s through the 2000s, and continued growth in the 2010s and early 2020s. This information is presented in a line graph format, effectively highlighting the long-term rise and yearly variations in motorcycle fatalities across the United States.

There were about 6,400 fatal motorcycle crashes on U.S. roads in 2022, translating into a fatal motorcycle crash involvement rate of 26.8 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. This figure reached a peak in 2005, when motorcyclists traveled some 10.5 billion miles in the United States and 4,682 lives were lost.

In 2023, Singapore recorded 68 fatalities in motorcycle accidents, marking an increase compared to previous years. The highest number of fatalities in motorcycle accidents was recorded in 2014, with 74 fatalities.

ABSTRACT CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Traffic accidents have gained prominence as one of the modern epidemics that plague the world. The objective of this study was to identify the spatial distribution of potential years of life lost (PYLL) due to accidents involving motorcycles in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. DESIGN AND SETTING: Ecological and exploratory study conducted in São Paulo. METHODS: Data on deaths among individuals aged 20-39 years due to motorcycle accidents (V20-V29 in the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision) in the state of São Paulo in the years 2007-2011 were obtained from DATASUS. These data were stratified into a database for the 63 microregions of this state, according to where the motorcyclist lived. PYLL rates per 100,000 inhabitants were calculated. Spatial autocorrelations were estimated using the Global Moran index (IM). Thematic, Moran and Kernel maps were constructed using PYLL rates for the age groups of 20-29 and 30-39 years. The Terraview 4.2.2 software was used for the analysis. RESULTS: The PYLL rates were 486.9 for the ages of 20-29 years and 199.5 for 30-39 years. Seventeen microregions with high PYLL rates for the age group of 20-29 years were identified. There was higher density of these rates on the Kernel map of the southeastern region (covering the metropolitan region of São Paulo). There were no spatial autocorrelations between rates. CONCLUSIONS: The data presented in this study identified microregions with high accident rates involving motorcycles and microregions that deserve special attention from regional managers and traffic experts.

The Motor Vehicle Collisions crash table contains details on the crash event. Each row represents a crash event. The Motor Vehicle Collisions data tables contain information from all police reported motor vehicle collisions in NYC. The police report (MV104-AN) is required to be filled out for collisions where someone is injured or killed, or where there is at least $1000 worth of damage (https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/documents/ny_overlay_mv-104an_rev05_2004.pdf). It should be noted that the data is preliminary and subject to change when the MV-104AN forms are amended based on revised crash details.For the most accurate, up to date statistics on traffic fatalities, please refer to the NYPD Motor Vehicle Collisions page (updated weekly) or Vision Zero View (updated monthly).

Due to success of the CompStat program, NYPD began to ask how to apply the CompStat principles to other problems. Other than homicides, the fatal incidents with which police have the most contact with the public are fatal traffic collisions. Therefore in April 1998, the Department implemented TrafficStat, which uses the CompStat model to work towards improving traffic safety. Police officers complete form MV-104AN for all vehicle collisions. The MV-104AN is a New York State form that has all of the details of a traffic collision. Before implementing Trafficstat, there was no uniform traffic safety data collection procedure for all of the NYPD precincts. Therefore, the Police Department implemented the Traffic Accident Management System (TAMS) in July 1999 in order to collect traffic data in a uniform method across the City. TAMS required the precincts manually enter a few selected MV-104AN fields to collect very basic intersection traffic crash statistics which included the number of accidents, injuries and fatalities. As the years progressed, there grew a need for additional traffic data so that more detailed analyses could be conducted. The Citywide traffic safety initiative, Vision Zero started in the year 2014. Vision Zero further emphasized the need for the collection of more traffic data in order to work towards the Vision Zero goal, which is to eliminate traffic fatalities. Therefore, the Department in March 2016 replaced the TAMS with the new Finest Online Records Management System (FORMS). FORMS enables the police officers to electronically, using a Department cellphone or computer, enter all of the MV-104AN data fields and stores all of the MV-104AN data fields in the Department’s crime data warehouse. Since all of the MV-104AN data fields are now stored for each traffic collision, detailed traffic safety analyses can be conducted as applicable.

In 2024, approximately 22.71 thousand motorcycle drivers got injured in road traffic accidents in Japan. This was a decrease compared to the previous year.

The number of fatal motorized two-wheeler accidents in France increased year-over-year, up to 668 motorcyclists killed on French roads in 2021. This increase was due to a rowth in fatal motorcycle accidents, up by 93 fatalities. In contrast, there were less fatal moped accidents that year than in 2020.

Abstract Introduction Motorcycles accidents are responsible for most of the injuries due to external causes and consequent high hospitalization rates. Objective This study aimed to analyze the temporal trend in motorcycle accident morbidity among young male adults in the State of Santa Catarina. Methods This is an ecological study on motorcycle accident morbidity in men aged 20 to 39 years in the State of Santa Catarina between 1998 and 2012. Data from the Hospital Information System of the Brazilian Unified Health System were used in the study. Specific hospital morbidity rates adjusted for age, age group and geographical region, were calculated to analyze the temporal trend in the State through regression model estimates obtained using the Joinpoint program. Results A total of 19.889 hospital admissions for motorcycle accidents occurred in the State of Santa Catarina in the period studied, with a significant increase of 10.9% per year. In the studied age groups, the 20-29 year old group increased 9.7% per year, whilst the 30-39 year old group increased 13.7%. Except for Foz do Rio Itajaí, all geographical regions of the state showed a significant increase of morbidity. Conclusion There has been an increasing trend of morbidity for motorcycle accidents in State of Santa Catarina. These results show the need for improvement of policies to reduce the causes of this type of accident.

In the city, there were 24,758 injuries in motorcycle accidents in 2013, with 24,597 people wearing helmets, accounting for 99.3%. However, wearing a helmet does not guarantee absolute safety, as there is still a high possibility of injury to other parts of the body.

In the 102nd year of this city, the number of deaths and injuries among motorcycle riders and passengers in A1 traffic accidents was 76 and 31, respectively. Among them, the number of deaths and injuries for those wearing helmets was 72 and 31, respectively, with a ratio of 96.2%. However, wearing a helmet does not absolutely guarantee life safety, and there is still a high possibility of causing injury to other parts of the body.

In 2023, there were 92,565 motorcycles involved in traffic accidents in Turkey, about 30 percent more accidents than the previous year. Over the years, the number of motorcycle-involved traffıc accidents in Turkey rose. This can be linked with the rising number of motorcycles in Turkey.

Report forms concerning the deaths of 120 motorcycle riders in traffic crashes in New South Wales have been studied. Most of those killed were young men. Deaths were particularly common after 6:00pm and at the weekend. In many cases a colliding vehicle had not been aware of the motorcyclist’s presence. Any measure which would make motorcycles more easily visible, such as the constant burning of headlights, should have a beneficial effect. Head injury was very common. If 100 per cent of motorcyclist in New South Wales wore helmets, rather than the 75 per cent as at present, the death rate would be cut by about 35 percent.
