Agency Seeks Anti-Lock Brakes On All New US Road Motorcycles
AppleMagazine
|AppleMagazine #359 - Special Edition
A federal safety agency is recommending that all new motorcycles built for road use in the U.S. have anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control as standard equipment.
-
The National Transportation Safety Board voted 5-0 to make the recommendations to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has authority to impose regulations.
NHTSA wouldn’t answer specific questions about the recommendations but said in a statement that it takes a “data-driven, fact-based approach” to vehicle safety and will take action as warranted.
During a public hearing Tuesday, the NTSB said that while the technology is required on passenger cars, it has lagged for motorcycles and requiring it would save lives. The agency said 5,286 motorcyclists were killed on U.S. roads in 2016, the last year for which statistics are available.
