Men Need Motorcycle Safety Equipment Most
Male road users are more likely to be involved in an accident, new figures show, highlighting the importance of motorcycle safety equipment for men when taking to the roads.
The AA’s Drive Confident scheme revealed men have misplaced confidence over their ability to control a vehicle on the road.
Men were shown to be nearly 70 percent more likely to be involved in a crash than women, and women are six times more likely to seek to improve their skills through refresher training than men.
“In road safety terms, a lot of confidence is not necessarily a good thing – unless it’s grounded in sound skills and a safe attitude,” said Edmund King, AA president.
“Male dominance in statistics for speeding, in particular, suggests that confidence can often outstrip skill.”
Motorcycle Safety Facts
Male road users are almost one and a half times more likely to have a driving conviction for speeding than women.
There are more than twice as many road casualties among young men than young women, and men are more than twice as likely to have a drink-drive conviction.
As part of a rider’s motorcycle safety equipment the crash helmet is a vital part, as 80 percent of motorcyclist fatalities are due to head injuries.
A halo helmet with the ThermaHelm technology embedded into the lining of the helmet will give the rider a good chance of surviving a crash. An endothermic reaction occurs on impact and freezes the rider’s head, preventing brain swell and hopefully reducing the chance of permanent brain damage.
