Abstract
This article analyses road traffic accidents caused by motorcycle riders' technical errors. It presents an accident table that links the nature of the accidents to the causes of the accident. The connection provides a comprehensive overview of the typical motorcycle accidents that can be extended to events that have occurred. With this in mind, a conclusion can be drawn in the sense that an accident could have been avoided by a proper reaction of the motorcycle rider, and it would also make suggestions for developing a methodology for motorcycling education. Currently, motorcycling on the domestic road network is a hobby rather than a means of everyday travel, but the 10% participation rate in accidents certainly justifies the need to investigate this mode of transport. Today's state-of-the-art and technically well-equipped high-performance motorcycles require efficient vehicle handling and road use preparation. Therefore, drivers need to be able to respond appropriately to the challenges of our accelerated traffic.
