In the caption accompanying the video, the Hellenic Police warns those who use motorcycles that traffic accidents  are likely to result in serious injuries or even fatal outcomes. Additionally, the video is accompanied by some statistical data. Violations for not wearing helmets are alarmingly high. Since the beginning of the year alone, we have recorded 23,102 violations. Even more alarming is that in accidents involving motorcycles, there is often a serious or even fatal outcome. In total, 1,928 casualties were recorded in 2,162 accidents, of which 69 were fatal and 78 were serious. One mistake is enough to change our lives or the life of someone we love. Protect yourself and others. Always wear your helmet!
