historical background of accidents

Data on road crash were analysed for a period of 14 years starting from 1985 to 1998 which was gathered from Statistical Report Road Crash. The number of accident for every 1,000,000,000 km registered motorcycle increased from 0.45 in year 1990 to 0.82 to in the year 1998 with an increase
of 82.2%. However, the number of death for every 1,000 motorcycles involved in accidents reduced form 56.9% in the year 1990 to 41.2% in the year 1998. This data showed that the move taken to reduce the death of motorcycle users had achieved the target, but the moves taken to reduce the number accidents need to be revised. Data analysis from Statistical Report Road Crash showed that the causes of accident were due to human factor based on the fact that more than 59% accident occurred on straight road, more than 59% occurred at rural areas and 67.2% involved in accident was between 11 – 30 years of age. This fact showed that most accidents occurred due to carelessness, not familiar, and lack of disciplines while maneuvering the motorcycle. It was thought that enforcement and education on road safety at primary school could reduce road crash. This data analysis also showed that motorcycle user has lower probability to be involved in an accident for every 1,000,000 km registered vehicles compared with other vehicle users.

It is because I do not like read and this subject is difficult to memorise and so boring.  That is all about me....
