Abstract
A QUESTIONNAIRE survey undertaken in October 1984 involving 480 adolescents aged between 15 and 16 years investigated the desirability of taking up motorcycling whilst still a teenager in relation to various demographic and road safety factors. This desire was strongest in males from rural areas who had poor prospects for further education. This group also had the least inclination to take rider training and other road safety precautions. Since the majority of pupils were well aware of the casualty levels, deliberate risk-taking may be involved. There are a number of implications for health education about road safety.
