Motorbike licenses

Young motorbike riders face tough new regulations as the Infrastructure Ministry is preparing a bill to divide the "A" license category into several categories. The new regulations envisage allowing only persons above the age of 24 to ride the fastest motorbikes, those above 500cc.

According to police statistics, 156 people died last year in 953 accidents involving motorbikes. Last year 42,000 motorbikes were purchased, which is 50% above the 2006 figure.
