As part of the work the MCCofNSW is doing with Transport we have been asked to circulate a request for a control group for an accident survey being carried out by Uni of NSW.
This is the preliminary stage of a larger survey and the crash sites have been selected based upon information already in hand.
They need riders that regularly go past the points listed below who ahve not crashed to ask more questions realting to perception of hazards in those areas.
cheers,

This means that for every crashed rider (Case), 2 or 3 other riders (Controls) are included from other motorcyclists who have ridden near the crash site.
Controls will be asked to complete an anonymous on-line survey about their riding experience, practices and background.
Who can take part?
Any licensed motorcycle rider, aged 18 or older who has ridden in a specified area near one of the following crash sites can take part in this study.

That sounds interesting. If there was one up this way I would probably go along.

Hmmmm...

Let me guess...

The outcome will be "Motorcyclists aren't visible enough!- Flouro to be Mandatory"

Hmmm, didn't think about the rigged factor. I was more interested in the questions and responses.

From what I've gleened from the web on this particular studie. Its more orentated to seeing how to scare the fuck out of cage drivers in some way so they see us as a threat subconciously, therefore driving there fight/flight pathways to key us (bike riders) into the thought process. Instead of just "didnt see him" outcomes.

As an outcome of this study I would hope for " All cage drivers will have some sort of intensive extreem electro-stimulation of the genital regions during simulated situations involving motorbike negotiation awarness training at initial driver training (to be implemented retroactivly for all non motorcycle riders) . To re-enforce the negitive outcomes of not seeing a motorbike. "

Might be the 1/2 a bottle of American honey but sounds about right to me.
