What is the annual number of casualties among moped and light-moped riders in the Netherlands?

Answer

In 2016, there were 44 road deaths among (light-)moped riders (incl. microcar drivers); this is 7% of the total number of road deaths (629) in the Netherlands in 2016. The number of road deaths among (light-)moped riders has decreased slightly over the past ten years.

The number of serious road injuries among (light-)moped riders in 2016 is not known. Since 2009, when there were about 2,800, it has not been possible to reliably determine their number (see also SWOV Fact sheet Serious road injuries in the Netherlands).
