87 Percent of Motorcycle Accidents Caused by Other Road Users

A study conducted by the Vehicle Theft and Accident Reduction Council (VTREC) found that 70% of road accidents involve motorcycles. However, only 13% of these accidents are caused by the motorcyclists themselves, while 87% are caused by other vehicle drivers.

Of these motorcycle accidents involving other vehicles:

67% are caused by private vehicles, and
20% are caused by commercial vehicles.

Motorcyclists and pillion riders are the most vulnerable road users. On average, 6,000 road users are killed annually, with 4,200 (70%) being motorcyclists.

According to VTREC Coordinator Ms. Mas Tina Abdul Hamid, statistics show that motorcycle accidents are 12 times more frequent than car accidents.

“Motorcyclists are often blamed when accidents occur, but we have learned that car drivers need to improve their road safety awareness and require education on defensive driving,” she added.

“The annual fatality rate remains alarming. The number of yearly accident-related deaths could fill graves requiring space equivalent to six football fields.”

“On average, one road user is killed every 80 minutes.”

“Human error is the primary cause of road crashes, contributing to eight out of the 10 factors behind traffic accidents,” Mas Tina emphasized.

The vehicle insurance industry recorded 266,716 accident claims in 2024, an 11% decline compared to 299,657 cases in 2023.

Editor’s Note: VTREC data is collected through insurance claims. Thus, it does not cover unreported or unclaimed accidents, meaning the actual accident figures are higher than those reported by authorities.

87 Peratus Kemalangan Motosikal Disebabkan oleh Kenderaan Lain

Dalam satu kajian yang dijalankan oleh Majlis Pengurangan Kecurian Kenderaan dan Kemalangan (Vehicle Theft and Accident Reduction Council/VTREC) mendapati bahawa 70 peratus daripada kemalangan jalan raya melibatkan motosikal. Namun, hanya 13 peratus daripada jumlah itu disebabkan oleh penunggang motosikal itu sendiri, manakala 87 peratus disebabkan oleh pemandu kenderaan lain.

Daripada itu, 67 peratus kemalangan motosikal yang melibatkan kenderaan lain disebabkan oleh kenderaan persendirian, dan 20 peratus lagi disebabkan oleh kenderaan komersil.

Penunggang dan pembonceng motosikal merupakan golongan yang paling berisiko tinggi di atas jalan raya. Secara purata, seramai 6,000 pengguna jalan raya terkorban setiap tahun, dan daripada angka tersebut, 4,200 orang merupakan pengguna motosikal

Menurut Penyelaras VTREC Cik Mas Tina Abdul Hamid lagi, statistik menunjukkan bahawa jumlah kemalangan motosikal ialah 12 kali ganda daripada kemalangan yang melibatkan kereta.

“Selalunya penunggang motosikal disalahkan apabila terlibat di dalam kemalangan, namun kami telah mendapat tahu bahawa pemandu kereta perlulah meningkatkan kesedaran mengenai keselamatan jalan raya serta terdapat keperluan pendidikan pemanduan berjaga-jaga,” katanya lagi.

“Purata tahunan kematian kekal membimbangkan. Kematian tahunan akibat kemalangan boleh memenuhi kubur yang memerlukan ruang sebesar enam padang bola.

“Secara purata, seorang pengguna jalan raya terbunuh setiap 80 minit.

“Kesilapan manusia merupakan punca utama kemalangan jalan raya, menyumbang kepada lapan daripada 10 faktor yang menyebabkan kemalangan lalu lintas,” tambah Mas Tina.

Industri insurans kenderaan mencatatkan 266,716 tuntutan kemalangan pada 2024 yang merupakan penurunan sebanyak 11% berbanding 299,657 kes pada tahun 2023.

**Nota daripada Pengarang: Data VTREC dikumpulkan melalui tuntutan insuran. Oleh yang demikian, ia tidak dapat merangkumi kes-kes kemalangan yang tidak dilaporkan dan dituntut. Maksudnya angka kemalangan sebenarnya lebih tinggi daripada yang dilaporkan oleh pihak berkuasa.

Jenama motosikal Amerika yang satu lagi, dan tidak kurang terkenal, ialah Indian Motorcycle, dan mereka kembali ke Malaysia.

Kini, jenama ini di bawah naungan Spirit Lake Motor Sdn. Bhd., yang merupakan anak syarikat AFY Mobility Industries—syarikat yang juga pengedar rasmi motosikal Suzuki dan MODA.

Walaupun laman web menyenaraikan semua model pengeluar tersebut, hanya tiga model yang kini tersedia:

Scout ABS Icon;
Scout Bobber ABS;
Scout Rogue ABS.

Sila kunjungi laman web rasmi Indian Motorcycle Malaysia di https://www.indianmotorcycle.com.my.

Pada masa yang sama, showroom rasmi Indian Motorcycle Malaysia terletak di:

2, Lorong 51A/227A,
Seksyen 51A,
46100 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Showroom ini beroperasi pada hari Isnin hingga Sabtu, dari pukul 9:00 pagi hingga 6:00 petang.

Indian Motorcycle merupakan salah satu jenama motosikal tertua, malah lebih awal daripada jenama motosikal Amerika yang lain. Indian bermula pada tahun 1901 sebagai Hendee Manufacturing Company, berpusat di Springfield, Massachusetts. Namanya kemudian ditukar kepada Indian Motorcycle Company pada tahun 1923.

Pengeluar ini terkenal selepas memenangi lumba Isle of Man Tourist Trophy pada tahun 1911, menjadi pengeluar pertama yang menduduki ketiga-tiga tempat teratas.

Walaubagaimanapun, syarikat ini berhenti beroperasi pada tahun 1953.

Pada tahun 2011, Polaris Industries memperoleh jenama ini dan memasarkannya bersama jenama sedia ada mereka, Victory. Victory kemudian dihentikan apabila Polaris menumpukan semua sumber mereka kepada Indian.

Indian Motorcycle Returns to Malaysia

The other US motorcycle make, and no less famous, is Indian Motorcycle and they return to Malaysia.

The brand is now under the the umbrella of Spirit Lake Motor Sdn. Bhd., who are themselves a subsidiary of AFY Mobility Industries who are also the official distributor of Suzuki and MODA motorcycles.

Although the website lists all of the maker’s models, three are currently available:

Scout ABS Icon;
⁠Scout Bobber ABS;
Scout Rogue ABS.

Please visit Indian Motorcycle Malaysia’s official website at https://www.indianmotorcycle.com.my.

At the same time, the company’s official showroom is located at:

2, Lorong 51A/227A,
Seksyen 51A,
46100 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

The showroom is open on Mondays to Saturdays, from 9:00 am to 6.00 pm.

Indian Motorcycle is one of the oldest motorcycle brands, even pre-dating the other US motorcycle brand. Indian began in 1901 as Hendee Manufacturing Company, based in Springfield, Massachusetts. It name was subsequently changed to Indian Motorcycle Company in 1923.

The manufacturer came to prominence in the 1911 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy race, becoming the very first maker to win all first three places.

However, the company stopped operating in 1953.

In 2011, Polaris Industries acquired the brand and marketed it side-by-side with their own existing brand, Victory. Victory was later dropped as Polaris concentrated all resources on Indian.
