MORE ON THE MUARC SURVEY

MICHAEL FITZPATRICK

MONASH UNIVERSITY ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE

 

Dear Sir.

 

On behalf of our members I would like to ask some questions about the MUARC survey of motorcycle & scooter crash victims and other riders.

 

At the recent VicRoads workshop the presentation did not include the more controversial aspects of the survey.

 

1. How was the survey funded?
2. How much will the survey cost all up?
3. Over what period of time will the survey be coinducted?
4. Will the base data be available for independent review?
5. How are the following questions related to road safety?

                Section 83.

 

                9.    Do you have a high fat diet?

                10.  Do you do-it-yourself home maintenance?

                11.  Do you own a gun?
