Pushing for Motorcycle Safety Training

In the past years, motorcycle sales have continued to increase along with the number of injuries and deaths. This increase has caused a growing amount of concern for motorcycle safety.

Industry experts and the government blame the worsening conditions on riders getting older, riding more miles, and drinking more. In addition, an increase in riders means there aren’t enough training programs to educate everyone who should sign up.

2004 motorcycle statistics showed:

• Motorcycles accounted for 2 percent of all registered vehicles.
• 9.4 percent of all highway deaths involved a motorcycle.
• 4,008 people died in motorcycle accidents nationally, up 8% from the year before.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is encouraging riders to get training whether they are new or experienced. Many states are only able to help 60% of riders who want to take a safety course, but NHTSA has developed a grant program for states that offer courses and meet other criteria.
