Hi Raish - It doesn't matter if you ride a motor cycle by yourself or as a passenger - the risk is similar (thought this does depend on the skill of the rider). Motor cycles are a more risky form a transport than a car as you are not protected as much in the case of an accident.

Hi Raish,

I have to agree with aussiemidwife as I have sadly seen some terrible motorcycle crashes.

Everyone is more at risk when riding a motorcycle compared to travelling in a car. This risk is increased further for pregnant women or children. Obviously wearing a properly fitted helmet can minimise this risk, but even then the risk of injury is still significantly greater than car travel.

I hope this helps you.

So glad we could help Raish.

It sounds like you know what you want for you and your family. Sometimes we all find it hard when other people offer their opinions which are not always helpful.

Best wishes, LJ
