Abstract
An on-line survey of motorcycle riders was undertaken in 2005 to identify the factors contributing to the occurrence and severity of crashes involving older motorcycle riders, to establish any differences in contributory factors between continuing, returned and new older riders (with a particular focus on returned riders) and to identify road safety measures to mitigate contributory factors in the crashes of older riders. Respondents had ridden in Australia in the last five years and were aged 25 and over.
