MOTORCYCLE SAFETY- AN INVENTORY OF PROBLEMS

MOTORCYKELSAEKERHET - EN PROBLEMINVENTERING

The rapidly increasing popularity of the motorcycle during the last years has resulted in negative consequences in the form of an increased number of accidents which are often very serious and give rise to big problems, both for the individual and for society. In the light of the origin of the accidents and the types of injury, further research is proposed mainly through an increase of the conspicuity of rider and machine, better braking systems, better education and further training.
