Motorcyclist safety is a major concern in many developing countries. Understanding motorcycle riders' risky behaviours, particularly among the younger population, is essential to developing effective interventions. This paper explores the correlations between mobile phone use while riding and other risky riding behaviours as well as the relationships between perceived risks and risky riding behaviours, using an online survey of university students in Vietnam. Results show that calling while riding a motorcycle had the highest prevalence (74%) while reckless overtaking had the lowest prevalence (33.2%). Survey participants who indicated that they had the behaviours of reckless overtaking or riding on sidewalks were around twice as likely to call, text, or search for information while riding. In addition, those who admitted that they rode a motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol were nearly twice as likely to call or text while riding. The results also show that perceived crash risks reduced the likelihood of risky riding behaviours, including calling, texting, searching for information, speeding, running red lights, riding on the wrong side of a road, and riding on sidewalks. A more coordinated approach to enforcement is needed to help reduce the prevalence of multiple risk taking behaviours among motorcyclists.
摩托车手安全是许多发展中国家关注的主要问题。了解摩托车骑手的危险行为，特别是在年轻人群中，对于制定有效的干预措施至关重要。本文通过对越南大学生的在线调查，探讨了骑行时使用手机与其他危险骑行行为之间的相关性，以及感知风险与危险骑行行为之间的关系。结果表明，骑行时打电话的比例最高（74%），而鲁莽超车的比例最低（33.2%）。表示有鲁莽超车或在人行道上骑行行为的参与者，在骑行时打电话、发短信或搜索信息的可能性是前者的两倍左右。此外，承认在饮酒后骑摩托车的人，在骑行时打电话或发短信的可能性几乎是前者的两倍。研究结果还表明，感知到的撞车风险降低了危险骑行行为的可能性，包括打电话、发短信、搜索信息、超速、闯红灯、逆行和在人行道上骑行。需要采取更协调的执法方法，以帮助减少摩托车手多种危险行为的发生率。
