Answer 1

Motorcycle rider training for the prevention of road traffic crashes, https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD005240.pub2

Riding a motorcycle (a two‐wheeled vehicle that is powered by a motor and has no pedals) is associated with a high risk of fatal crashes, particularly in new riders. Motorcycle rider training has therefore been suggested as an important means of reducing the number of crashes, and the severity of injuries.

Some methodological weakness has seen with the study

Poor samples(randomised and control)/smallsample size

Short follow-up time after training

interrupted time‐series

Detection bias due to the poor use of outcome measurement tools
