MOTORCYCLISTS aged between 16 and 29 accounted for the highest number of road fatalities in the country, said Road Safety Department deputy director-general Datuk Roslan Eusoff.

With this in mind, he said it was vital for teenagers and children to be reminded on following road rules and safety, such as wearing Sirim-approved helmets.
