August 2005 Risk for Motorcyclists in Tel AvivNearly 80,000 motorcycles were registered in Israel at the end of 2001. From January 1997 through December 2002, a total of 19,348 injuries to motorcyclists, with 217 fatalities, were recorded. Motorcycles comprise 4% of all registered vehicles in Israel but are involved in about 8% of all road traffic accidents in the country .

Tel Aviv.ResultsDuring the study period, 10,967 patients aged 16 or above were hospitalized following an injury sustained as a driver in a road AbstractBackground:

The proportion of motorcyclists injured in road accidents in Israel is larger than their proportion among road users.

A multiple logistic regression revealed that Tel Aviv, the busiest metropolitan city in Israel, is a risk for motorcycle injury as compared to other regions; males have an increased risk compared to females; and age is a protecting factor since the risk of injury as a motorcyclist decreases as age increases. Nevertheless, the population of injured motorcyclists in Tel Aviv was significantly older.
