Amendment 30 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) Riders of L-category vehicles belong to a vulnerable road user group with the highest fatality and injury rates among all road users. This Regulation should therefore be aligned with the European Road Safety Policy 2011-2020 and should introduce effective primary safety measures to provide the riders with vehicles equipped with the safest reasonably affordable technologies. Along with requirements for safe cornering and lighting and anti-tampering measures, this Regulation introduces mandatory Anti-lock Breaking Systems (ABS) for new motorcycles of certain categories. The efficiency of the chosen safety measures, which should be complemented by better training and education for riders of L-category vehicles and adapted road infrastructure, is well tested and proven by research and studies,

Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) In many Member States it is compulsory for moped and motorbike riders to use dipped headlights during the daytime. In order to improve safety for moped and motorbike riders, it should be made compulsory for vehicles to be equipped with automatic headlight illumination. Given that this obligation has also been extended to four-wheel vehicles, there is a clear risk that riders of two-wheel vehicles could lose the visibility advantage that they previously enjoyed. The Commission should therefore propose, in its report on the application of this Regulation, new measures and additional lighting safety devices that will make it possible to restore the lost visibility advantage.
