VicRoads launches bike safety site
A new portal to provide motorcycle and scooter riders with information about safety technologiesVicRoads has launched a campaign, including a new website, which enables people to review the safety features of motorcycles manufactured since 2010, which electronic aids such as anti-lock braking, stability control, traction control and linked brakes included in the evaluation.
“Motorcycle safety technology has advanced at such a rapid rate that it can be hard to stay up to date,” VicRoads, Director Vehicle and Road Use Policy, Robyn Seymour, said. “VicRoads has created a one-stop-shop for motorcycle and scooter riders to find out which bikes have safety features.
“With summer around the corner, many riders are planning their weekend and holiday road trips. We want them to have the safest motorcycle possible.”

Once you are on the website, look for the 'Search Safe Bikes' tile on the right-hand side of the page.
A recent report by Monash University Accident Research Centre found that motorcyclists riding road bikes without anti-lock were 45 percent more likely to be involved in a serious crash, compared to those riding with the feature.
