Background

A motorcycle is a vehicle that has twice wheels  and an engine that also moves very fast like that of a car, they travel too long distances  but causes severe damage in an accident. Motorcycle  users  stand  to  be  the most  vulnerable  on  the  road  as  they  are  more exposed  to  this  risk  than  other road users.  Riding motorized  two-wheeled  vehicles carries  a  higher  risk  of  being  involved  in  a  fatal  traffic  accident than  from  using  any other  common  mode  of transport.  For  instance,  a  study  conducted  by Koornstra  et  al., (2003)  estimated  that,  per100  million-person  traveling hours,  440  motorized two-wheeled  vehicle  rider  fatalities  occur,  compared  to  75  and  25  fatalities  for  cyclists and  car drivers,  respectively.  Therefore,  in  order  to  reduce  road  traffic  injuries,  it  is most  important  to target this group of road users. Recently,  the  use  of  motorcycle  as commercial  transport  is  on  the  increase  in  most  urban  areas in Ghana.  This development  is  attributable  to  limited  reliable  commercial  transport  and inadequate infrastructure.
