Översättning av: Extremt beteende: främst en fråga om olovlig körning: version 2.0

According to studies conducted by SMC, VTI and NTF the vast majority of motorcyclists are safety conscious. They don’t take unnecessary risks and they enjoy riding a motorcycle. To have a valid driving license when riding a motorcycle is a matter of course for motorcyclists. However, regarding fatalities among drivers of motorcycles we see the same four factors occurring again and again - riding without a license, riding under the influence, aggressive riding, and high speed combined with reckless riding. SMC has chosen to group these factors under the label “extreme behaviour”. The total number of motorcycle accidents are declining but fatal accidents containing one or more of these factors are increasing. It’s becoming increasingly clear that the problem of extreme behaviour is mainly about the group lacking a driving license. This group is difficult to reach and influence with traditional road safety measures.
