Nearly three in four motorcyclists here have had an accident before, and most admit that the accidents were of their own doing.

Poor judgment calls, from tailgating to cutting off other vehicles, were the leading reason why they lost control of their motorbikes, a recent survey has found.

Many riders also say that they have experienced aggressive behaviour from other motorists.
