Motorcycle Accident Statistics

In October 2001, the Department of Transportation commissioned a report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to assess Motorcycle Accident Statistics from Fatal Single Vehicle Motorcycle Crashes.

These motorcycle accident statistics were intended to be a long awaited follow up to the Hurt Report, commissioned in 1981.

More specifically, Motorcycle accident fatalities have increased every year for the past nine years. In 2005 there were 6.2 million motorcyclists on the road in the U.S. This accounts for 3 percent of all registered vehicles on the roads. As far as miles driven, Motorcycles account for only .4 percent of the miles driven in 2005. However a motorcyclist in 2006 was 37 times more likely than a person in a car to die in a crash, and 8 times more likely to be injured. Per registered vehicle, in 2005, a motorcyclist is 5.4 times more likely than a person in a car to be killed in an accident.

In January, 2008, the Insurance Information Institute produced a detailed report regarding motorcycle accident statistics other factors that we recommend all of you who love your two wheels, become aware of. There are many ways to lesson your risk to your body and your property.
