CORRELATIONS AMONG MOTORCYCLE-RELATED DEATHS, HELMET LAW ENFORCEMENT AND HELMET USAGE FOR ASEAN COUNTRIES

Abstract

The ASEAN Community is recorded to have a high rate of motorcyclist injury and death. This
study aims to determine the statistical correlations among the deaths related to motorcycle accidents, helmet
law enforcement and helmet use among ASEAN countries. Linear regression analysis was applied to develop
models exploring the correlations at the 95% confidence level. The results indicate that those countries with
higher efficiency of helmet law enforcement and higher helmet usage have achieved lower motorcycle-related
death. The findings are useful for responsible organizations to determine road safety policies to reduce the
deaths of motorcyclists in ASEAN countries.
