A final version of the BbQ was written in Swahili after a focus group with Swahili-English speakers and was distributed to 513 Bodaboda drivers in Arusha in December 2016.
The subjects replied to 46 questions to investigate 7 different sections: demographic information, protective equipment, passengers, maintenance of motorcycle, police fines, driver’s crash history and reasons of the road crashes.
