Motorcycles pose higher risk to other road users than cars, according to the study discussed in this podcast. Rod McClure talks to Dr Rachel Aldred, University of Westminster, about her recent paper published by Injury Prevention, which analyses the risk of injury to others constituted by six different transport modes, driver's/riders’ gender and type of roads. The study also confirms that men drivers pose more risk than women drivers to the community. Read the paper: http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/injuryprev-2019-043534
