Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Solid investigation results show that 8% of the accidents involving motorcycles are caused or linked to technical defects. Motorcycle riders are the group of road users with the highest safety risk, with rising trend in the number of fatalities. Moped drivers are overrepresented in the number of fatalities, with more than 1,400 drivers killed on the roads in 2008. The scope of vehicles to be tested shall therefore be extended to the highest risk group of road users, the powered two- or three-wheel vehicles. Mopeds, although overrepresented in the number of fatal accidents, should not be included given that such a wide scope of periodic roadworthiness tests would be impractical and would go against the principle of proportionality.
