Recommendations to improve Motorcycle Safety in Thailand
MC Rider Training
MC Rider training is needed before issuing licenses. The training should focus on• Traffic strategies to reduce perception and reaction failures of MC rider• Collision avoidance skills (especially frontal impact)• How to select and use helmet properly
Road and Environment
Need road infrastructure for MC• Motorcycle lanes or segregated lanes between MC and larger size of OV for highway• Road design to minimize conflicts at U-turn, intersections, access points • Study the effect of urban road design on the behavior of riding in the opposite direction
Law Enforcement
Set appropriate speed limit for MC and use appropriate technology for speed enforcement
Vehicle
Procedures on issuing MC licensesTechnology on enforcement of helmet wearing
Need technology for safety equipment for MC• Safety equipment to protect frontal impact• Technology to improve MC stability • Automatic braking / Automatic speed control
