Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine how riders and traffic police assess the accidents in
Batasan Hills. Motorcycles are the most numerous vehicles in the Philippines, so it is
inevitable that motorcycles also have the most number of accidents. The researcher
conducted this study to raise awareness of the possible causes and effects of a motorcycle
accident. What is the response of the traffic police whenever there is an accident, and what is
the condition of the accident victims? The majority of motorcycle riders did not have a legal
driver's license and would prefer to avoid the police. Head injuries, fractures, lacerations, and
contusions were the most common motorcycle injuries. The majority of the incidents were
caused by an unfinished construction road. Motorcycle accidents can be reduced through
increased law enforcement, public education, the usage of helmets, and good condition of
construction roads.
