MSF President Tim Buche said, "One fatality is one too many and we
urge all roadway users to expect to see motorcyclists on the road and
respect their right to be there. Such an analysis could enable further significant gains in
motorcycle safety by providing a better understanding of which safety
countermeasures have been effective and what new countermeasures may
be necessary to reduce future crashes and injuries. Working
together, we can make a difference in reducing crashes and make
motorists more aware of motorcycles on the road.
