2012 Motorcyclists Campaign

“Motorcyclists, Watch Out at Intersections!”

Motorcyclists are more vulnerable road users; they have little protection and they are sometimes difficult to see.

To encourage motorcyclists and motorists to be vigilant as they approach an intersection, the 2012 campaign featured a 30-second TV commercial.

Nearly 40% of fatal collisions involving a motorcycle and an automobile occur at intersections, where motorists making a left turn cut off motorcyclists travelling toward their right side because they either saw them too late or not at all.

TV commercial

Commercial broadcast on French-language television from April 16 to May 6, 2012

Motocyclistes, attention aux intersections! (Motorcyclists, watch out at intersections!)

The scene depicts a motorist making a left turn at an intersection. Two scenarios are shown. The first shows an accident occurring, whereas the second shows an accident that is avoided.

“On a Motorcycle, Wear the Right Gear!”

The campaign also provided motorcyclists and moped operators with information on various gear options for better protection.
