The high rate of motorcycle accidents and fatalities in Malaysia is due to a complex combination of factors, with human behavior, high exposure of motorcyclists, and road environment issues being the primary causes. Motorcycles account for over 60% of road traffic deaths in the country.
The Malaysian government and related agencies, such as the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), have implemented various initiatives including enforcement campaigns and infrastructure improvements like dedicated lanes. However, the high volume of motorcycles and deeply ingrained behavioral factors mean that the issue remains a significant national crisis.
