Bikes nowadays are powerful. With
over 3 cylinders and several gears, they are truly a bullet with the driver
seated in the most precarious of seating and arrangement. They move as fast as
car but he only difference being the scantiness of poor safety gear.
But ironically, in a recent survey
in USA, it was found that firstly the motorcycle accident pattern is stable for
twenty years. And secondly, motorcycle itself is the main culprit. A survey was
conducted to see the relationship several motorcycle related factors and their
impact on accidents.
Annual mileage was a minor factor.
The more the bike has been in run, the more the wear and tear and ultimately
failed parts and low mainteence. Secondly the age and experience of riders
played a vital role mentioning younger ones more prone to committing accidents
and rash drives rather than senior citizens. Finally bike sizes and engine
power has an impact of accident too.
It has been noted that the larger the
sizes such as 1200cc, the more people prone to speed up and win the battle with
road. Although motorcycle is considered to be harmful and dangerous in terms of
riding at high speeds, but at the end it’s the rider and correct driving which
result in mishaps.
