1997 Motorcycle Crash Times

 
   
 
   
   
     
 

Motorcycle injury crashes and all crashes followed the same time pattern,  peaking at 4 PM with a smaller peak at noon. Fatal motorcycle crashes followed a much different pattern. Peaks occurred at 6 PM and 10 PM (Table 5.02).

  Table 5.03 shows the number of motorcycle crashes and the rate of motorcycle crashes per day for each month.  Not surprisingly, very few motorcycle crashes occurred in the winter months due to the decrease of individuals riding a motorcycle.  July had the highest rate of motorcycle crashes and injury crashes per day.  While September had the highest rate (0.2) of fatal motorcycle crashes per day.
