FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
22 April 2010
Contact: Jeff Hennie, Government Relations &
Public Affairs
The Governors Highway Safety Association
(GHSA) released a report today on
motorcycle fatalities. The report claims that
motorcycle fatalities are down 16 percent
for the first 3 quarters of 2009 and about
10 percent for the year. This is the first
significant decrease in over a decade.
The decrease in fatalities is not a function of
people riding less. Vehicle miles traveled for
motorcycles is down one to two percent
(the number varies regionally). Miles
traveled have also increased in some areas
where people are swapping gas guzzler
cars for small, efficient motorcycles in order
to stretch their pennies as far as possible.
After all, motorcycles are the single most
affordable form of private transportation
available to Americans.
In fact, the only addition to motorcycle
safety on a national level is the motorcycle
safety grant program signed into law in
2005. The program, the brain child of the
Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF), sends
federal highway dollars back to the States
earmarked for rider education programs
and motorcycle awareness campaigns. It is
of course the good work done on a state by
state basis, largely by motorcyclists, that
ultimately deserves credit for this reduction
in loss of life.
With the increasing numbers of new and
returning riders, and concern over single
vehicle motorcycle crashes, rider education
and training is the only proactive measure
that can truly assist motorcyclists in
preventing crashes. Studies have indicated
that more than 90% of accident involved
riders were without formal training.
The next question is - how do you maintain
the reduction? Helmet law proponents will
use this as a stepping stone to put a
mandatory helmet law in place. They will
point to the law as the logical next step,
which it is not. We were able to achieve this
reduction without a national helmet law and
we can continue the trend without it.
Keeping the numbers down will only be
possible through quality rider education and
motorist/motorcycle awareness campaigns.
And of course continue the MRF’s position;
focus on crash avoidance and not simply
safer crashing and we will save lives.
