| Abstract | Thailand and Vietnam are Southeast Asian countries that their people use a lot of motorcycles. Motorcycles are 80% of all registered vehicles. Both nations are known for having the world's highest rates of road traffic fatalities. Motorcycles are involved in 74% of all road deaths. This paper offers a detailed analysis of motorcycle accident trends and the effectiveness of interventions. Both countries have strong safety rules, however their accident trends are not the same. This is because of things like road conditions, city density, and traffic law enforcement practices. Vietnam has made great progress in helmet usage and has seen a faster drop in death rates. In contrast, Thailand still has a higher overall death rate, mostly because of high-speed crashes in rural areas. Also, Thailand has a slow adoption of safety features like ABS. From mid-2025, Thailand raises fines to 2,000-4,000 baht for riders and passengers not wearing a helmet. Both countries also face issues, such as an aging population and the rise of the gig economy. This study offers policy recommendations aimed at boosting helmet use, improving enforcement for drunk driving, and aligning regional safety standards with the UNRSF Motorcycle Assessment Program. |
