I am supporting the report on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles. These are L-category vehicles, the number of which in the European Union is estimated at over 30 million. This vehicle category is constantly expanding in Poland too, as it covers motorcycles, mopeds and what are known as quad bikes. It is true that these vehicles are responsible for only 3 % of kilometres travelled in general, but their profile among fatal accidents is shockingly high, at as much as 16 %. For this reason I think it makes sense to increase the safety of these vehicles through the mandatory introduction of anti-lock brake systems (ABS) and automatic headlight on (AHO), so that vehicles of this category are visible. In supporting an increase in the safety of these vehicles, I do, however, wish to draw attention to the fact that it must lead to an increase in the price of mopeds, motorcycles and quad bikes. The question must therefore be posed: is it worth doing this? In my opinion it is worth it, as the protection of human life, and this chiefly concerns young people, is worth it at any cost."@en1
