In my thesis I presented the road safety of motorcycle drivers in Slovenia. I started the theoretical part of the thesis with a presentation of the concept of a traffic accident and a description of risk factors. I also defined the concept of road safety. In the following chapters I defined motorcycles and I took a look at the mobility of motorcycle drivers in Slovenia. I have broken down the factors that affect the safety of motorcyclists according to the driver - vehicle - environment system and highlighted their key characteristics. In addition I described the road safety of motorcyclists in the EU. In the second, analytical part of the thesis, I focused on the analysis of traffic accidents of motorcycle drivers in the period between 2009 and 2019. I presented the obtained data in tables and in graphical form. The general data of traffic accidents, their causes and types, temporal and local characteristics, demographic characteristics of drivers, and especially the characteristics of traffic accidents in which women motorcyclists were involved are presented. With previously mentioned data, I wanted to get an answer to my initial hypothesis and identify areas where road safety for motorcyclists should be improved. Based on the analyzed data, I presented traffic and health risks of motorcyclists. I completed the task with a brief analysis of the findings and possible improvements.
