The MAIDS study into motorcycle and scooter accidents concludes that "in 50 % of cases, the primary accident-contributing factor was human error on the part of the other driver. Amongst the primary factors, over 70 % of the driver's errors involved failure to see a motorcycle driver."
MAIDS - the Motorcycle Accidents In Depth Study - shows that despite overwhelming media representations to the contrary, motorcycle riders are not usually to blame in the event of a motorcycle accident. In 60 % of accidents, a car was involved and in 50 % of these cases, the car driver was to blame.
In 50 % of cases, the main problem was an error on the part of the other driver. Over 70 % of errors on the part of the other driver involved failure to see a motorcycle driver.
Over 73 % of drivers attempt some form of collision avoidance prior to impact, and weather-related conditions only contribute to about 7.4 % of motorcycle accident cases. Drivers failing to see motorcyclists has been the subject of TV advertising campaigns to raise driver awareness.
British Motorcyclists Federation (BMF) Government Relations Executive Richard Oliffe said: "This study represents the most comprehensive data currently available on PTW (powered two wheeler) accidents in Europe.
“Statistical coverage of motorcycle accidents in the past has been insufficient and confusing. Causes and analysis have been sadly lacking and motorcycling has therefore suffered.
“The BMF is pleased to have been able to support this invaluable research.”
