Descriptive statistics were used to describe the demographic characteristics of all the respondents. A
bivariate-correlation analysis was then carried out to
evaluate any correlation between the three dimensions of
perceived causes of motorcycle accidents and the driving
violations carried out while riding a motorcycle. This was
followed by an independent ttest to evaluate any significant differences between motorcyclists who were involved
in accidents and motorcyclists who were accident free, in
terms of these dimensions and behaviours. For the prediction of a motorcycle accident, univariate logistic regressions were first performed to examine the effect of
different demographic variables, alignment with the
different dimensions of perceived accident causes, and the
extent of driving-violation behaviours. Variables reaching
p>.05 were then eliminated. The remaining variables
