ABSTRACT
Introduction: Three of five accidents often occur mainly by the human factor, this meaning that can be prevented in motorcycle accidents are becoming more frequent. Material and Methods: A descriptive study was performed with structured interviews for drivers to inquire about the knowledge we have about the security measures in handling motorcycle. In a non-probability sampling, in five cruises of Oaxaca, in days at random, and for two months behaviors demonstrated by drivers were classified and assessed in 3 groups: negative, neutral and positive behaviors. The Monte Carlo method was used for the probabilistic assessment. Results: 208 drivers were examined, mostly male, 69 were teenagers, 143 motorcyclists traveling with two, three and four, there are many children 65 men and 28 women wear the helmet, and accompanying the almost nobody carries the helmet. Statistical significance shows that attitudes are significant to knowledge, most drivers engage in negative and neutral irresponsible attitudes, as always they have done as usual. As relates to speeding, traffic violations incurred, not wearing helmet including escorts, and inclination or propensity to accidents all were statistically significant. Conclusions: Despite the traffic regulations, motorcyclists ignore these and the risk factor increases. They have to increase the penalties for drivers to wear the helmet. And they shall not be transported children of any age on them. The inexperience of young drivers and overestimate their abilities as individuals exposed to accidents ultimately lead to high morbidity and mortality.REFERENCES
