Literature and Studies
Related Literatures
• The motorcycle has become one of the most common modes of
transportation in the country. It required less maintenance and
provides better transportation.
• Motorcycles have become widespread as means of
transportation because of their high maneuverability which is a
great advantage in heavy traffic (Olakulehin et al., 2015), ability
to pass along narrow paths and relatively affordable costs as
compared to motor vehicles.
Related Studies
• Motorcycles as a means of mobility have become an issue, specifically
among developing countries. While it is a valid mode of transportation and
accessibility, it is not originally intended for public transport.
• In the international scenario, a study is being conducted by the National
Safety Authority (NHTSA) and private institutions examining the crash
statistics from several states demonstrating a direct correlation between
lack of helmet laws and increased incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI)
and death.
• It is also indicated by the NHTSA that in the states were
national helmet laws are entirely or partially appealed, the
rates of helmet use drop significantly (Satkoske, 2013).
Research Design
• This study used simple random sampling research
design.
• Select a smaller group (the sample) from a larger group
of the total number of participants (the population).

Research Instrument
• The research made survey questionnaire used has two
(2) parts. The 5-Point Likert’s Scale was used to gather
the responses collected.

• The respondents of this study were the
selected seventy (70) motorcycle riders.
