Motorcycle fatalities have been increasing at faster rate than total motor vehicle deaths; growth in motorcycle accidents is direct result of growth in numbers and use of these vehicles; in study made in Great Britain it was found that chance of motorcyclist being killed per mile ridden is about 20 times of car driver; risk of death or injury to pillion passenger is about 5% higher than risk to driver; personal-injury accident rate of solo motorcycles is about four times, and that of motorcycles with sidecars about twice as great as that of cars; 97% of total casualties in collisions between motorcycles and cars or trucks are motorcyclists.
