Key challenges include the limited availability and affordability of certified helmets, widespread counterfeit gear, and poor public awareness of helmet standards and proper usage. Riders juggling multiple platforms and shifts are more susceptible to fatigue and risky behavior. Motorcycle fleets often rely on vehicles that may not conform to adequate standards, with inconsistent safety features and limited periodic maintenance. Weak insurance enforcement, limited coverage for commercial use, socioeconomic barriers, and limited adoption of telematics to monitor safety performance further hinder safety efforts. For instance, in some countries, low-powered commercial use two-wheelers are exempt from standard two-wheeler regulations. Addressing these challenges is a shared responsibility requiring active participation from the government, companies, riders, and the insurance sector.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOCOMMERCIAL MOTORCYCLESSAFETYOPERATIONAL CHALLENGESGOVERNANCEReportWorld Bank
