چکیده انگلیسی
This study uses repeated cross-sections of individual level crash data to study the effectiveness of motorcycle helmet legislation. Results suggest that motorcycle helmet laws reduce average individual fatality risks by 20.5%. From a policy standpoint, large states such as Florida and Texas can reduce annual motorcycle fatalities by an average 100 deaths through reinstating universal helmet laws. Valuing these fatality reductions at the U.S. DOT suggested $9.4 million value of a statistical life yields aggregate annual state benefits of approximately $940 million. The effectiveness of helmet legislation can be attributed to the technological efficacy of helmets as well as enhancing behavior in the form of reduced risk taking among motorcyclists. Specifically, motorcyclists who use helmets in order to comply with mandatory helmet laws are 29.8% less likely to receive a traffic citation for risky driving behavior (speeding, alcohol, etc.), travel at a 6 mph lower average speed, and have a 47.4% reduction in the probability of “severely” damaging their motorcycle in a crash.
