Uncovering the risky riding behaviors among young motorcyclist in urban areas

In Malaysia, more than 50% of road traffic crashes involve motorcyclists, with motorcyclists being the main contributor to the road crashes. Thus, the traffic safety of motorcyclists is critical and must be given priority. Road traffic crashes showed a significant increase every year in Malaysia acc...
