Accident statistics involving motorcyclists were submitted to the Moscow traffic police. The data was collected in the first half of the year.
Usually, drivers of two-wheeled vehicles during this period chose the wrong speed relative to the general current, also violated the driving order and did not keep the distance.
Despite a whole list of violations, however, the motorcyclists were not to blame in most of the accidents. The incidents in which cyclists were found guilty represent only 40% of the total.
In total there were 260 accidents involving motorcyclists during this period. The most common of these are associated with a collision or overturning of vehicles. And the most serious consequences were recorded after the collision of a motorcycle with an obstacle.
The traffic police also compared the age and experience of motorcyclists who participate in an accident. Mostly experienced drivers aged 33 to 35 have an accident. Their driving experience is also impressive. Most of them have been riding motorcycles for 14-16 years.
