INSTITUTE CALLS ON GOVERNMENT TO MANDATE ANTILOCK BRAKES FOR ALL NEW MOTORCYCLES
Summary:
Recent research from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety strongly demonstrates the benefits of antilock brakes for motorcycles. Based on findings that antilocks significantly reduce motorcycle crashes, including fatal
ones by more than a third, the Institute is seeking a federal requirement that manufacturers equip all new motorcycles with this technology.
