Motorcycle Helmet Use in 2013--Overall Results. Traffic Safety Facts Research Note.

摘要

Use of DOT-compliant motorcycle helmets remained at 60 percent in 2013, unchanged from 2012. This result is from the National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS), the only survey that provides nationwide probability-based observed data on motorcycle helmet use in the United States. The NOPUS is conducted by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Figure 1 shows the trend of motorcycle helmet use since 1996. Figure 2 shows the percentages of motorcyclists using DOT-compliant helmets, noncompliant helmets, and no helmet in 2012 and 2013.
