traffic accidents are one of the main causes of death and disability, with motorcyclists representing the great majority of both the victims and the perpetrators.
this work studied the characteristics of motorcyclists injured in accidents involving motorcycles and automobiles.
this study sought to interview 100 motorcyclists who had been injured in collisions between motorcycles and automobiles, and who were undergoing emergency hospital treatment in the region of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The questionnaires included demographic information (age, gender, skin color, education level, profession) and questions about years of licensed driving practice, how often they would drive an automobile, how long they had had a motorcycle driver's license, how often they would ride a motorcycle, the number of prior accidents involving a car, and the number of prior accidents not involving a car.
of the 100 consecutive accidents studied, 91 occurred with men and 9 with women, aged between 16 and 79 (m = 29 ± 11) years. Regarding their reason for using a motorcycle, 83% reported using it for transport, 7% for work, and 10% for leisure. Most of these accident victims had secondary or higher education (47%). Of the motorcyclists who held a car driver's license, 68.3% drove the vehicle daily or weekly and held the license for more than one year. Sixty-seven percent of the accident victims used a motorcycle daily and had a motorcycle driver's license for at least one year.
among the motorcyclists injured, most were men aged 20 years or older, with complete secondary education, and experienced in driving both motorcycles and cars, indicating that recklessness while driving the motorcycle is the main cause of traffic accidents.
交通事故是死亡和残疾的主要原因之一，骑摩托车者在受害者和肇事者中占绝大多数。
本研究旨在探讨涉及摩托车与汽车事故中受伤的骑摩托车者的特征。
本研究试图采访100名在摩托车与汽车碰撞事故中受伤、正在巴西贝洛奥里藏特地区医院接受紧急治疗的骑摩托车者。问卷包括人口统计学信息（年龄、性别、肤色、教育程度、职业）以及有关持驾照驾驶年限、驾驶汽车频率、持有摩托车驾照时长、骑摩托车频率、之前涉及汽车的事故数量以及之前未涉及汽车的事故数量等问题。
在研究的100起连续事故中，91起事故的受害者为男性，9起为女性，年龄在16至79岁之间（平均年龄为29±11岁）。关于骑摩托车的原因，83%的人表示用于出行，7%用于工作，10%用于休闲。这些事故受害者大多接受过中等或高等教育（47%）。在持有汽车驾照的骑摩托车者中，68.3%每天或每周驾驶汽车，且持驾照超过一年。67%的事故受害者每天骑摩托车，且持有摩托车驾照至少一年。
在受伤的骑摩托车者中，大多数是20岁及以上的男性，接受过完整的中等教育，且有骑摩托车和汽车的经验，这表明骑摩托车时的鲁莽是交通事故的主要原因。
