BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The legal definition of a motorcycle for the purpose of registration, taxation, and licensing in most countries ―is a powered two-wheel motor vehicle‖. Most countries distinguish mopeds up to 49 cylinder capacity (scooters do not count as separate category) and the more powerful larger vehicle is known as motorcycle. Many jurisdictions include some forms of three-wheelers as motorcycle (New Zealand Transport Agency). Motorcycle crash occur when a motorcycle collides with another motorcycle, car, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or other stationary obstruction such as utility pole. The collision may result in death, injury and property damage.  According to WHO, (2004), every day thousands of people are killed and injured on our roads. Men women or children walking, biking or riding to school or to work or playing in the street or setting out on long trips, will never return home, leaving behind shattered families and communities.
