Background
Road safety is a major societal issue. The United Nations have stressed the road safety as a global problem through a number of its resolutions. This certainly relates to two-wheel commuters too, who represent a growing proportion of traffic participants.
Serbia is among the leading countries in Europe concerning the number of deaths among motorcyclists in traffic accidents, although it has only 35,000 registered powered two-wheel commuters, lot less than most European countries. In Serbia it is 45 times more probable that a two-wheel commuter rather than a person riding in a different vehicle will be injured in a traffic accident , while in Belgrade that probability amounts to 90 times. The riders of sports motorcycles are the most vulnerable,, being exposed to four times higher risk than regular motorcyclists.
In 2010 the police have registered 1,493 traffic accidents in which two-wheeled traffic participants were involved, with 62 fatalities (which is a 50% decrease from 2009) and further 1,394 people injured.
The traffic accidents in the first trimester of 2011 involved 68 motorcyclists, 20 scooter and 12 bicycle riders. Six people had died in these accidents, 15 riders and eight passengers were severely injured, with 41 riders and 13 passengers receiving minor injuries.
The procedure of attaining the A-category driving license is, among other, one of the reasons for casualties within motorcyclists, caused by inadequate training for riding a motorcycle.
