The study showed that the contribution of motorcycles to traffic accidents increased from 16% in 2011 to 25% in 2025, with speeding violations being prominent, as 73% of fatal speeding accidents happen outside urban zones. Additionally, it was noted that 87% of motorcycle riders do not wear helmets, 64% do not have a driving license, and 59% use their phones while riding. The number of registered motorcycles expanded from 3,960 in 2023 to 39,590 in 2025, while the number of motorcycle dealerships grew from 6 in 2011 to 33 in 2026.
