Accidentologie moto - Nouvelle étude de 5.6 millions

[Bernstorm]

Dans le contexte des nombreuses nouvelles d'accidents, des augmentations d'assurances, des nouveaux règlement etc. je trouve cette nouvelle interessant. Je parie que les résultats seront semblables à ceux du Rapport Hurt d'il y a trente ans:

Hurt me again, please

It’s been nearly 30 years since the Hurt Report defined the causes of motorcycle accidents on American roads, and since then things have changed. Now, the Oklahoma Transportation Center plans a new study of motorcycle accidents with money from the U.S. motorcycle industry and a federal grant.
The industry has committed $2.8 million to the project, matching funding from federal coffers. Some of the dough was raised by the AMA through a Fuel the Fund program for riders.
In 1980, researcher Harry Hurt produced a ground-breaking report after analyzing thousands of motorcycle crashes. Hurt concluded that, surprise, three-quarters of motorcycle crashes involved other vehicles, and two-thirds of the time – that’s half of total accidents – the cages were at fault. One quarter of total crashes involved only the motorcycle, and most of those were caused by the rider, most often screwing up in a curve. The largest single factor in motorcycle crashes: a cage driver did not see the bike.
More cars, more bikes, a new era. A new study is welcome, and should help to reduce accidents. Of course, we could just outlaw cages, but then we’d have to ban curves, too — and that would really hurt.

Intéressant que des gens autre que la SAAQ se penchent sérieusement la dessus! Merci de l'info. Évidemment, la SAAQ vas ignorer ce rapport royalement!! Après tout, c'est eux qui ont raison!
