"Today we gave the green light to new rules that will make motorcycles safer and greener. From 2016, the rules will apply to all two- or three-wheeled motorised vehicles from powered cycles to the most powerful motorcycles. These vehicles are involved in 16 % of road deaths in the EU but account for only 2 % of road traffic, and this is why we have approved tighter safety requirements and imposed stricter targets for reducing polluting emissions. Driving a motor vehicle safely obviously depends mainly on the motorcyclist driving responsibly, but there is always potential to make vehicles safer and cleaner. The new rules to make motorcycles safer include a requirement for motorcycles above 125 cc to be fitted with anti-lock braking systems (ABS), while ABS or a combined braking system (CBS) can be adapted to less powerful vehicles (below 125 cc), including scooters."@en1
