| description | The highest contributor to road accidents and fatality in Malaysia involves motorcyclists. Recognizing
this fact, identifying the issues that cause motorcyclists’ accidents is essential for the government to
develop appropriate road safety strategies to address the problem. Factors associated with motorcyclist
accidents are generally related to motorcyclist riding behavior, road engineering and environments, and
vehicle factors. Possible reasons that caused motorcyclist fatalities are riding above the speed limit,
breaking traffic lights, following other vehicles closely, and the negligence of riders. This paper aims
to identify the main factors affecting fatal accidents among motorcyclists from the perspectives of 146
road transport officers’ ranking from the high to low order. Respondents involved in this study are staff
and officers who serve in the Malaysian Road Transport Department. This study adopted the Theory of
Planned Behavior (1985) and other factors influencing motorcyclists’ attitudes and behaviors. Using
Microsoft Excel, frequency analysis was used to rank all factors associated with motorcyclist accidents
in the questionnaire survey. Findings show that psychological factors were the main factors affecting
motorcyclist accidents. |
