摘要

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSA) National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) released a comprehensive analysis of motorcycle crashes titled Recent Trends in Fatal Motorcycle Crashes (DOT HS 809 271) in July 2001 and a research note Motorcyclist Fatalities in 2000 (DOT HS 809 387) in December 2001. The report examined trends and rates of motorcycle riders (motorcyclists) killed in motor vehicle crashes during the ten year period 1990-1999 and the research note compared the trends and rates in the report with the 2000 data. This research note compares recently released results from the 2001 Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) to the trends and rates in the earlier report and research note.
