3.4.4. The Netherlands In 1995, SWOV carried out a study among nearly 400 motorcyclists who had been involved in a crash (Vis, 1995). Although the SWOV-study concerned all classes of motorcycles (from light to heavy) and is therefore not really suitable for this report, it is of interest to mention the results of the younger riders (18-24 years): − They have a higher rate (about two times higher than older riders); − They relatively often choose a sports motorcycle; − The risk of riding a sports motorcycle (usually with a relatively high power or high power/mass) is, in general, greater (about twice that for recreational motorcycles); − They exceed the (urban) speed limit relatively often (viz. 50%); − Riders of sports motorcycles commit relatively more speeding offences, especially if there is a high power/mass; this applies to them (i.e. the younger riders) even on sports motorcycles with a lower power/mass; − A relatively large proportion has a sportive and fast driving style (based on their own answers in the survey of those involved in crashes with motorcycles); Among other things, SWOV concluded that the potential risk is influenced by a 'dangerous' combination of age, 'sportive' driving style, and a sports motorcycle.
