Read an interesting MALAYSIAN INSTITUTE OF ROAD SAFETY (MIROS) RESEARCH report on Malaysia's motorcycle statistics and accident characteristics.
Summary:
- Assuming 70% of registered bikes are active, there are 6.2 mil bikes in Malaysia
- Out of the 6.2 mil, 113,962 have been involved in road accidents, causing fatalities of 3,640 riders, and another 430 pillions
- Motorcycle fatalities continue to outnumber other road users (no surprise)
- Most of the road accidents involving motorcycles occurred at straight roads, with no significant difference in the number of accidents during daytime and night time
- Injuries are getting more and more fatal, with a bigger percentage of KSI (Killed and Series Injuries)
- Highest KSI cases in Malaysia are in Klang, followed by PJ *gasp*
