[visordown.com] - Motorcyclists '23% better' behind the wheel of a car
How many ride bikes too? Evidence suggests we'd be safer if more did MOTORCYCLISTS are 23% safer behind the wheel of a car than non-motorcyclists, according to a leading insurer. Equity Red Star compared car drivers to car users who also have an insured motorcycle, and found the latter 23% less likely on average to make a claim on their car policy. The firm also adjusted the figures to take into account the different typical ages of car drivers and motorcyclists, and still found the riders to be 21% better behind the wheel. The results showed motorcyclists were 20% less likely to make a bodily injury claim on their car policy. The insurer examined 200 million policies between 2007 and 2012. Rob Clark, Equity Red Star’s Head of Retail Motor, said: “A motorcyclist could, behind the wheel of a car, be said to be 23% better.” Clark presented the data yesterday at a conference organised by the Motorcycle Industry Association to examine evidence that increasing the number of motorcyclists on the road could actually improve safety. The conference was held in the offices of the Department for Transport in London. Click here for full story...
