The following is a compilation of numbers from several tables in DOT HS 809-271 Technical Report: Recent Trends in Fatal Motorcycle Crashes.

In this article, we do the same things done in If We Don't Carry Passengers..., If We Don't Drink..., and If We Don't Speed..., for the aggregated 10-year period, 1990-1999. The estimation of the number of motorcycle operators who were fatally injured while speeding and sober will still have to be done, but only one estimating step, instead of two as in If We Don't Speed..., will we required.
Several Numbers Available in Table H7 and DOT HS 807-271:
Calculation of the Estimate:

Table H7-1: Reduction of Fatalities and Fatality Rate Based
on DOT HS 809-271 Figures No Passenger; No Drinking; No Speeding (1990-1999) | ||||
| Reduction in Fatalities | Fatalities | Fatality Rate: per 100,000 Registered Motorcycles | Percent Reduction from Factual | |
| 1990-1999 (Factual) | N/A | 24,484 | 61.42 | N/A |
| No Passenger | 2,324 | 22,160 | 55.59 | -9.49% |
| No Drinking | 9,883 | 12,277 | 30.80 | -49.86% |
| No Speeding | 4,013 | 8,264 | 20.73 | -66.25% |
Fatality Rate = (Fatalities / 39,863,402) x 100,000
39,863,402 = The Number of Registered Motorcycles for the aggregated 10-year period, 1990-1999, as reported on the page 8 of DOT HS 809-271.
Here is a copy of Table H6-1 which we obtained in If We Don't Speed....

Table H6-1: Reduction of Fatalities and Fatality Rate Based
on DOT HS 809-271 Figures No Passenger; No Drinking; No Speeding (1999) | ||||
| Reduction in Fatalities | Fatalities | Fatality Rate: per 100,000 Registered Motorcycles | Percent Reduction from Factual | |
| 1999 (Factual) | N/A | 2,472 | 59.53 | N/A |
| No Passenger | 196 | 2,276 | 54.81 | -7.93% |
| No Drinking | 875 | 1,401 | 33.74 | -43.32% |
| No Speeding | 416 | 985 | 23.72 | -60.15% |
Fatality Rate = (Fatalities / 4,152,433) x 100,000
4,152,433 = The Number of Registered Motorcycles for the year 1999, as reported on the page 8 of DOT HS 809-271.
