abstract="A more extensive evaluation than previously was made of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's Motorcycle Rider Course. A questionnaire survey was completed by 913 persons who had taken the course between 1980 and 1983 in Illinois and by a control group of 500 motorcyclists who had not taken the course. Compared to the control group, those who had taken the course did not have a lower violation rate, a lower accident rate, a lower total cost of damage to accident-involved motorcycles, a significantly lower mean cost of injury treatment per accident, or a lower total cost of injury treatment. Those who had taken the course did have a lower mean cost of damage to the motorcycle per accident, suggesting that they were involved in less severe accidents. They also made more use of protective clothing. About 30% of those who had taken the course did not subsequently drive motorcycles.<p />",
