All-terrain vehicle (ATV) drivers may be riskier operators than motorcyclists, according to new data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Of the individuals involved in fatal ATV crashes in recent years, 87% were not wearing helmets and almost half were drunk, reports the IIHS.
In comparison, more motorcyclists killed in crashes were following safety procedures—46% were wearing helmets—and according to the latest National Highway Traffic Safety Administration information, helmet use among motorcyclists increased by 19% within the last four years.
