Résumé / Abstract
Traffic safety related to motorcycle riding constitutes a growing issue all over the world, in relation with both the increasing use of this means of transport and its intrinsic vulnerability (WHO, 2009), as compared with other types of vehicles. This is notably the case in France, where the important progress recently obtained toward a safer driving by car didn't prove to be so much effective for motorcycling with nearly 37% of fatalities on the road (ONISR, 2010). The present study had the purpose to give some evidences on the reasons why, by characterizing the specificities of accident scenarios involving a powered two-wheeler vehicle (PTW).
