The ups and downs with the small motorcycle diploma, finally the driving lessons and exams

As he now points out, based on the Official Gazette that has been published, whoever wants to drive a car of up to 125 cubic meters does not need a diploma. Only a Class B driver’s license is enough to drive a motorcycle. Ignoring, as emphasized in the PSEO Press Release below, that the engine behaves completely differently than the car and most importantly that every year thousands of people are lost from motorcycle traffic.

This is now abolished and free, license-free driving of up to 125 cubic meters is released. “The simplest citizen understands that this is a tombstone. These are the machines that are involved in the majority of accidents ”, says Mr. Zografos to Dnews and continues“ I spoke with the ministry and what they tell me is that … they will see. This is a very, very dangerous decision. “Closing our communication, he stressed that” I wonder who thought of something so criminal, we must withdraw it immediately.

After the “cooking” and the conversion of moped driving licenses into AM, this regulation, which repeals the training of a motorcycle candidate, will take off road accidents in our country.

There is no room for such “legislative embarrassment” in a country where 6,638 people were recorded as victims of motorcycle accidents in 2018 alone.

And to repeat the obvious, which the legislator unfortunately ignores:

The motorcycle behaves differently from other vehicles because it has a different construction philosophy. It is a “single line vehicle”, the driver is on top and not inside the vehicle, making it much more difficult to drive than a car. The motorcycle turns, brakes, accelerates and behaves differently than a car, it requires good balance and full coordination of the driver on the part of the driver.

Considering all of the above, the obvious becomes clear: not only is it necessary for a motorcyclist to be trained, but this training must be specialized in the higher requirements of the vehicle and the reality of the road.
