Dear Traffic Safety Advocate: The Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Safety is happy to provide to you a copy of the “2013 Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Facts Book.” This publication includes a wealth of motorcycle crash data and general motorcycling information, which assists our department in developing future highway safety programs. It also supports our goal of improved information sharing among those groups and individuals having an interest in motorcycle safety. We face many challenges, and the commitment to reduce crashes, deaths and injuries continues to be one of WisDOT’s top priorities. I extend my thanks to the principal researcher of this document, Donald Lyden III. To obtain further program information or additional copies of this book, please write Sarah Buzzell, WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety, P.O. Box 7936, Madison, Wisconsin 53707. Phone: (608) 709-0080. FAX: (608) 267-0441. email: [email protected]. Sincerely,
David Pabst Director
2013 MOTORCYCLE SAFETY AT A GLANCE
In 2013, there were 6.4 registered motorcycles for every 100 Wisconsin residents. In 10 years, the number of residents holding a Class M motorcycle license has increased by 20% from 432,431 in 2004 to 520,602 in 2013.
In 2013, 83 motorcyclists, including passengers, were killed in traffic crashes compared to 112 in 2012, a 26% decrease. This figure is also 17% lower than the 100 fatalities that occurred in 2003.
1,927 motorcyclists were injured on Wisconsin roads in 2013. That represents a 19.6% decrease from the 2,398 injured in 2012 and a 20.0% decrease from 2003. An additional 71 non-motorcyclists were injured in crashes involving motorcycles in 2013.
While cyclists between ages 35 and 54 account for 43.7% of licensed motorcyclists, they accounted for 41.2% of motorcyclists in crashes in 2013. 16-24 year olds account for only 4.0% of the licensed motorcyclists, but account for 16.0% of those in crashes in 2013.
Since 1996, cyclists in the 45 and older age group experienced the largest increase in the number of fatalities of any age group. In 2013, 43 cyclists in this group were killed compared to eleven in 1996. This represents about a four-fold increase.
Alcohol and/or speed were the primary contributing factors in 46% of fatal single unit motorcycle crashes in 2013 and in 29% of all single unit crashes.
There were 155 alcohol-related motorcycle crashes in 2013. Of these, 130 or 83.9% occurred between 4 p.m. and 4 a.m.
In 2013, only 17.9% of passenger car/deer crashes and 14.9% of utility truck/deer crashes resulted in death or injury to a motor vehicle occupant. 68.3% of motorcycle/deer crashes resulted in death or injury to a motorcyclist.
Motorcycle helmets were known to have been worn by 20 (24%) of the 83 motorcyclists killed in traffic crashes in 2013.
Motorcycle helmets were known to have been worn by 38% of all motorcyclists involved in crashes in 2013.
Nine out of 10 motorcycle crashes occurred on dry pavement in 2013.
Approximately eight out of 10 Wisconsin residents who hold regular motorcycle licenses are male.
Saturday and Sunday are the two most common days for alcohol-related and non-alcohol-related motorcycle crashes. More than half of the alcohol related crashes occurred on these two days.
More motorcycle crashes occur between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. than any other six-hour time period.
In general, more fatalities occur in the more densely populated southeast area of the state than in any other region in Wisconsin.
The five most frequent possible contributing circumstances in both fatal and non-fatal motorcycle crashes in 2013 were: 1) Failure to control, 2) Speed too fast/conditions, 3) Inattentive driving, 4) Driver condition, 5) Exceeding speed limit.

Motorcycle Drivers in Crashes by Age Group
Fatal Crashes Total Crashes
Single Unit Motorcycle Crashes Primary Driver Contributing Factors
This report counts Primary Driver Possible Contributing Circumstances (PCCs) marked on the accident report form as well as citations issued by law enforcement officers. It only counts one of the PCCs or citations per crash and counts some PCCs before others. Therefore, for example, the portion of primary PCCs noted as inattentive represents only PCCs for inattention that were the sole PCC given. The numbers for this report were calculated differently than in years prior to 2001 and may not directly compare.

Moped Crashes 10-Year Summary
Moped Registration Data as of 12/31. Note: Statistics on mopeds are kept separate from motorcycle statistics due to technological differences as well as to make valid, statistical comparisons to previous years. This varies from what is reported under the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). FARS includes mopeds as “motorcycles”.

23 2013 WISCONSIN MOTORCYCLE SAFETY FACTS
BASIC RiderCourse For many people, motorcycling is a fun and energy-efficient means of transportation or recreation. However, motorcycling requires skill, concentration, and reasonable precautions. Although it is possible to learn to ride a cycle on your own, trial and error is a tough teacher of motorcycling skills. That's why virtually all motorcycling groups have endorsed the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's Basic RiderCourse (BRC) for beginning riders as well as all other levels of motorcycle rider education. The BRC is designed for beginning riders. It was developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and approved by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. It consists of three hours of online classtime and five hours of classroom time and 10 hours of on-cycle instruction including the following: preparing to ride; turning, shifting, and braking; street strategies; special situations; increasing riding skills; and maintenance and insurance. RiderCoaches (instructors) for the course are all certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and approved by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. All are motorcycle riders and have completed 72-plus hours of RiderCoach training. (Taken from Motorcycle Rider Course pamphlet. For more information call 1-800-DOT-WMSP.)
