In Malaysia, two-thirds of reported workplace-related fatal and serious injury incidents are the result of commuting crashes (especially those involving motorcyclists), however, little is known about the contributing factors to these collisions. A telephone survey of 1,750 motorcyclists (1,004 adults who had been involved in a motorcycle commuting crash in the last 2 years and 746 adult motorcyclists who had not been involved in a motorcycle crash in the last 2 years) was undertaken. The contributions of a range of behavioural, attitudinal, employment and travel pattern factors to collision involvement were examined. The findings revealed that the majority of participants were licensed riders, rode substantial distances (most often for work purposes), and reported adopting safe riding practices (helmet wearing and buckling). However, there were some concerning findings regarding speeding behaviour, use of mobile phones while riding, and engaging in other risky behaviours. Participants who had been involved in a collision were younger (aged 25-29 years), had higher exposure (measured by distances travelled, frequency of riding, and riding on high volume and higher speed roads), reported higher rates of riding for work purposes, worked more shift hours and had a higher likelihood of riding at relatively high speeds compared with participants who had not been involved in a collision. Collisions generally occurred during morning and early evening hours, striking another vehicles, and during normal traffic flow. The implications of these findings for policy decisions and development of evidence-based behavioural/training interventions addressing key contributing factors are discussed.
在马来西亚，报告的与工作场所相关的致命和重伤事故中有三分之二是通勤撞车事故（尤其是涉及骑摩托车者的事故）的结果，然而，对于这些碰撞事故的促成因素知之甚少。对1750名骑摩托车者进行了电话调查（其中1004名成年人在过去两年中曾遭遇过摩托车通勤撞车事故，746名成年骑摩托车者在过去两年中未曾遭遇过摩托车撞车事故）。研究了一系列行为、态度、就业和出行模式因素对碰撞事故参与情况的影响。研究结果显示，大多数参与者持有驾照，骑行距离较远（大多是出于工作目的），并报告采取了安全骑行做法（佩戴头盔并系好安全带）。然而，在超速行为、骑车时使用手机以及参与其他危险行为方面存在一些令人担忧的发现。与未遭遇过碰撞事故的参与者相比，遭遇过碰撞事故的参与者更年轻（年龄在25至29岁之间），暴露程度更高（通过行驶距离、骑行频率以及在交通流量大、速度快的道路上骑行来衡量），报告称出于工作目的骑行的比例更高，轮班工作时间更长，且以相对较高速度骑行的可能性更大。碰撞事故通常发生在早晨和傍晚时分，与其他车辆相撞，且发生在正常交通流量期间。讨论了这些发现对政策决策以及针对关键促成因素制定循证行为/培训干预措施的意义。
