The major disadvantage associated with motorcycles and mopeds is their shortfall in safety. The motorcycle or moped rider is unprotected in the event of an accident. The objective of this strategy is to demonstrate how the number of motorcycle and moped fatalities could be halved and the number of seriously injured riders reduced by 25 per cent by the year 2020, thus contributing its share to the 2020 interim goal.
The strategy is based on the management by objectives model for road safety based on Vision Zero – the Swedish Parliament’s long-term road safety plan. It is aimed principally at organizations and other stakeholders who are active in the fi eld and who are willing and able to contribute.
