“…However, those riding with a low BAC of 0.031–0.05% rather than those with a high BAC had the highest odds of unlicensed riding. This finding raises another issue that a low BAC can in fact pose a safety threat to road users by engaging in risky riding behaviours [ 67 , 68 ]. Although studies have proposed lowering the legal BAC limit imposed on motorcycle riders to reduce alcohol-related crash risks [ 67 ], zero-tolerance regulation was recommended for the entire population [ 69 ].…”

Although studies have proposed lowering the legal BAC limit imposed on motorcycle riders to reduce alcohol-related crash risks [ 67 ], zero-tolerance regulation was recommended for the entire population [ 69 ]. To reduce risky riding behaviours, such as drunk riding or unlicensed riding, improved detection methods and penalty increases may constitute an effective countermeasure [ 64 ].…”

This study aimed to investigate the association between drunk riding, unhelmeted riding, unlicensed riding, and running-off-road (ROR) crashes. Multiple logistic regression was used to calculate the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) by using the National Taiwan Traffic Crash Dataset for 2011–2016. The results revealed that unhelmeted riding was associated with 138% (AOR = 2.38; CI (confidence interval) = 2.34–2.42) and 47% (AOR = 1.47; CI = 1.45–1.49) higher risks of drunk riding and unlicensed riding, respectively. The risk of unhelmeted riding increased with blood alcohol concentrations (BACs), and riders with the minimum BAC (0.031–0.05%) had nearly five times (AOR = 4.99; CI = 4.74–5.26) higher odds of unlicensed riding compared with those of riders with a negative BAC. Unhelmeted riding, drunk riding, and unlicensed riding were associated with 1.21 times (AOR = 1.21; CI = 1.13–1.30), 2.38 times (AOR = 2.38; CI = 2.20–2.57), and 1.13 times (AOR = 1.13; CI = 1.06–1.21) higher odds of ROR crashes, respectively. The three risky riding behaviours (i.e., unhelmeted riding, drunk riding, and unlicensed riding) were significantly related to ROR crashes. The risk of unhelmeted riding and ROR crashes increased with BACs.

“…Numerous countries still struggle with the issue of motorcycle riders operating vehicles while intoxicated. This problem is evident in several countries, including Cambodia [79], Ghana [80], the USA [81], Taiwan [82], Italy [83], and the Nordic countries [84]. It is widely recognized that alcohol has a detrimental effect on riding abilities, impacting areas such as postural control, decision-making, attention, alertness, peripheral vision, contrast sensitivity, responsiveness to external stimuli, and psychomotor coordination and cognition [85].…”

Road accidents pose severe and pervasive consequences, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where both the population and fatal accidents among youth and the elderly are steadily increasing. Therefore, this study aims to develop a model for risky behavior in near-miss incidents among motorcycle riders in Thailand. It intends to compare models between younger and older riders utilizing structural equation modeling (SEM) with a multi-group approach. The data were examined employing modified instruments derived from the Motorcycle Rider Behavior Questionnaire (MRBQ). Samples depicting risky riding behavior were obtained from both younger and older rider groups. Parameter invariance testing revealed differences between the two groups. Control errors notably emerged as the predominant factor contributing to near-miss incidents for both age groups. Speeding was identified as the primary concern for the younger group, while adverse weather conditions were deemed crucial for the older group. Based on this study, policy recommendations endorse the creation of targeted training programs for novice riders, emphasizing adherence to legal speed limits and the adoption of safe riding practices. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of preparing riders, especially those in the older age group, for adverse weather conditions. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-02-019 Full Text: PDF

“…As mentioned earlier, when testing the efficacy of a treatment, this design has the ethical advantage that all participants receive the treatment. Centola et al (2020) employed a within participants design in their investigation of the effect of alcohol consumption on driving behaviors in a simulated driving task. Each participant was randomly assigned to one of two test sequences.…”
