Motorbike drivers every eighth victim of road accident

Every eighth victim of a road accident during the last six months has been a motorbike driver, according to recent police statistics. Altogether 56 motorcyclists have lost their lives on Czech roads since the beginning of this year. The most frequent victims of road accidents are men between the age of 25 and 34. Police attribute the fact to a rising number in motorcycle sales, which has been caused by falling prices. The sale of motorbikes in the Czech Republic has tripled over the past ten years.
