Investigating the relationship between self-reported (near) crashes, fined traffic offences, and risky riding behaviours among Flemish motorcyclists using the motorcycle rider behaviour questionnaire
No full textLittle research on motorcycling safety and rider behaviour has been performed in Belgium. This
study used the Motorcycle Rider Behaviour Questionnaire (MRBQ) as part of a larger questionnaire
on motorcyclist safety. Data was collected in Flanders (i.e., the Dutch speaking part of
Belgium) through 560 motorcycle riders by means of a questionnaire that consisted out of the
MRBQ, demographics, personal background, riding experience and exposure, vehicle information,
and self-reported (near) crashes and fined offences. Results showed a factor structure
consistent with previous studies, comprising the factors ‘traffic errors’, ‘speed violations’, ‘stunts’,
‘protective gear’, and ‘control errors’. Due to the limited number of crashes, only an effect on
near-crashes and violations was observed for some of the MRBQ factors, as well as for the age and
exposure of riders. This research indicated that the MRBQ has its merits in terms of both construct
and predictive validity. Nonetheless, the MRBQ was found to be subject to limitations. The need
for more research was raised to examine the potential presence and impact of a social desirability
bias and common method variance. Additionally, Implications for practitioners and policy makers
have been discussed
Inequalities in traffic safety: Literature review & conceptual framework
No full textThis report aims to provide a conceptual framework for research about inequality in traffic safety, in particular inequality in traffic safety for different socioeconomic and cultural groups.
The framework is first of all built on definitions of concepts concerning culture and socioeconomic characteristics and on the elaboration or measurement of these concepts in research. As a next step, determinants and mechanisms in the broader field of health and health inequalities are described. Finally, these determinants and mechanisms are used as a basis for similar determinants and mechanisms in traffic safety. The report ends with examples of models that are useful to investigate and explain inequality in traffic safety.
The literature search and selection followed an informal, rather inductive method, with some basic references (e.g. Laflamme, Burrows & Hasselberg, 2009; Factor, Mahalel & Yair, 2007; Steinbach et al., 2010) as a starting point. It ended the moment that the framework seemed solid and meaningful. We did not intend to give a complete overview of the literature available in the field of cultural and socioeconomic differences in health or traffic safety.This study was realized in the context of the project INTRAS (INequalities in TRAffic Safety) within the scope of the research program BRAIN (Belgian Research Action through Interdisciplinary Networks) funded by the Federal Public Planning Service Science Policy
