Alcohol Use and Motorcycle Accident Causation in Thailand and Los Angeles |
| บทคัดย่อ (อังกฤษ) |
The comparison of accident cause factors in Los Angeles and Thailand accidents revealed both similarities and great differences. Both studies were dominated by multiple vehicle accidents, but in Los Angeles they were mostly due to car driver failure to see the motorcycle. In Thailand rider error caused multiple vehicle crashes as often as car driver error. Many car drivers in Los Angeles, but very few in Thailand, said they had failed to see the motorcycle. Alcohol consumption before riding was far more frequent in Thailand than in Los Angeles (37% vs. 12%). In both studies, drinking riders had similar problems: inattention and running off the road. The great differences in the two studies, therefore, involved non-drinking riders. The reason Thai drivers see motorcycles more often may not be conspicuity but the far higher frequency of motorcycles in traffic in Thailand (about 1 vehicle in 3) compared to Los Angeles (about 1 in 200).
