The circumstances of the accident

With around 4.7 million motorcycles registered in Germany, motorcycles have a four times higher risk of being involved in an accident. What is particularly striking is that motorcyclists have an accident rate that is seven times higher than drivers. More than 500 motorcyclists are involved in accidents every day, with the number of seriously injured bikers increasing.
