Här kommer ännu fler bevis att Vägverket är fel ute när man
ständigt "hackar" på oss MC förare...
En stor undersökning gjort i England...men jag tror vi svenskar är
mera skötsamma än engelsmänen..

Nearly half of all accidents involving a car and a motorcycle are caused by the driver not looking properly
Drivers failing to look properly contributes to 47% of two-vehicle accidents involving a car and a motorcycle, according to the report, while riders failing to look only contributes to 16%.
In two-vehicle accidents involving a motorcycle and van, the van driver failing to look contributes to 50%, while the rider failing to look still accounts for just 16%.
The report cites ‘failed to look properly’ as the biggest cause of crashes, accounting for 35% of all road accidents. Exceeding the speed limit is a contributory factor in just 3% of all road accidents and 4% of motorcycle accidents.
Travelling too fast for conditions accounts for 6% of all accidents and only 8% of motorcycle crashes.
The report is a blow to recent claims from road safety lobbyists that ‘downsizing’ motorcycles by limiting power and speed would save ‘hundreds of deaths and thousands of serious casualties’ in ‘in quite a short time’.
The figures also seem in stark to contrast to previous claims used to justify speed cameras that speed is the biggest cause of crashes and contributes to around one-third of road accidents.
A ‘Think’ campaign document currently on the Department for Transport’s website claims: ‘All reliable research into accident causation shows that the factors determining both excessive and inappropriate speed amount to about 30% of contributory factors in road accidents.’
It defines inappropriate speed as ‘too fast for the road and traffic conditions’.
In today’s report, Road Casualties Great Britain 2006, a summary of the findings groups accidents caused by speed with accidents caused by other factors in order to claim:
“Injudicious action (including going too fast for conditions, following too close and exceeding speed limit) was the second most frequently reported category, involved in 27 per cent of all accidents. However this increases to 34 per cent of fatal accidents.”
Road Casualties Great Britain 2006 reports that the rate of fatal and serious injury accidents for motorcyclists is almost the same as the average for 1994-1998, while motorcycle traffic has risen by 33% in the same period.
For all road users, deaths fell by just 1% from 2005 to 2006, while for motorcyclists they rose by 5%
