Motorcyclist Fatalities in 2000. Research Note.

摘要

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (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. This report examined trends and rates of motorcycle riders (motorcyclists) killed in motor vehicle crashes during the ten year period 1990-1999. This research note compares recently released results from the 2000 Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) to the trends and rates in the earlier report. The analysis in this research note can best be understood when read in conjunction with the data from the previous report, Recent Trends in Fatal Motorcycle Crashes. The 1999 data in this research note are from the final FARS files and may be different from the 1999 data in the previous report.
