Motorcyclists comprise between 5% and 18% of road traffic injury deaths in high-income countries; however, in many low-income and middle-income countries, they comprise a substantially higher proportion. In Thailand and Indonesia, for instance, motorcycle fatalities account for 70% and 55% of total road fatalities, respectively. In most other countries in the WHO Western Pacific Region, there is an over-representation of fatalities among motorcyclists relative to the size of their motorcycle fleets. Data are showing that the risk to motorcyclists is also increasing in Africa and Latin America.
