N2  - Motorcycles have traditionally been a mode of transport that was an inexpensive alternative to motorcars. Today the picture has changed. Motorcycles are now mainly used for sport and recreation in general. Public disquiet about the high risks of accidents among motorcyclists has led to the introduction of motorcycle rider training schemes in Australia in recent years. This paper shows the value of geographical analysis in establishing which areas in Tasmania are high risk areas for motorcycle accidents. The Tasmanian Motorcycle Rider Training scheme is assessed in terms of its value in reducing the accident risk.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
