2007 Annual Assessment of Motor Vehicle Traffic Crashes Presentation |
This presentation provides detailed 2007 data as compared to the previously released Crash*Stats titled “2007 Traffic Safety Annual Assessments – Highlights” (DOT-HS-811-017). It compares fatality counts and estimates of people injured resulting from motor vehicle traffic crashes occurring in 2007, with counts and estimates from final 2006 files. Counts and estimates are based on Fatality Analysis Reporting System and NASS General Estimates System files. |

An Analysis of Motorcycle Helmet Use in Fatal Crashes |
This report examined motorcycle rider helmet use in fatal crashes during the period 1997-2006. The following factors were most highly correlated with motorcycle rider helmet use: the existence of a motorcycle helmet law in the State where the crash occurred, the motorcycle rider's age and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at the time of the crash, the engine size of the motorcycle, and whether the crash occurred at night or during the day. The report used both exploratory data analysis and logistic regression models to relate motorcycle rider helmet use to various crash factors. |
