The accident with the 15-year-old student is not an isolated case. According to a specialist report by the Federal Statistical Office, there is a precise distinction between different motorcycles. Mopeds, mokicks, mopeds and S-Pedelecs fall under the category of motorcycles with insurance indicators, while heavier vehicles such as light motorcycles and scooters fall under official license plates. The term “small skating bike” is often used for the vehicles with insurance license plates and thus also includes the mopeds that were involved in this accident.

These categorizations are important in order to understand the accident statistics exactly and to identify suitable measures to improve traffic safety. The number of traffic accidents with motorcycles remains a topic of great relevance, since they often result in serious injuries. Particular caution is required, especially among young people who usually have less driving experience.
