"I voted for this proposal. Over 30 million vehicles labelled as L-category (covering mopeds, two-or-three-wheeled motorcycles, quad bikes and mini-cars) circulate around Europe and their drivers face a much higher risk of fatal or serious injuries than drivers of cars or trucks. Raising safety standards is the main concern. In 2007 motorcycles and similar vehicles accounted for only 2 % of the distance travelled but 16 % of road deaths in the EU. Even one death on the roads is already too many. This is why I supported the introduction of mandatory anti-lock brake systems (ABS) on all new motorcycles, including motorcycles up to 50 cc. The industry will now have to include ABS on all new motorcycles over 125 cc – in 2016 (for new types of vehicles) and 2017 (for existing types of vehicles). For motorcycles between 50 cc and 125 cc, manufacturers can choose between ABS and Combined Breaking System (CBS). But this new regulation brings more legal clarity at last because it simplifies the 15 directives which currently relate to these types of vehicles and it establishes more subcategories within category L."@en1
