Estimation of motorcycle movement speed, by traffic participants, depending on the (not) use of daytime lights

Previous research in the world, as well as in the Republic of Serbia, was aimed at researching the impact of (not) using daytime running lights, in passenger vehicles, on traffic safety. Research on the impact of the (non) use of daytime running lights by motorcycles on traffic safety has been scarce. Bearing the above in mind, as well as the fact that the occurrence of traffic accidents is influenced by many factors, the authors of this paper decided to conduct an experimental study on a driving...
