Well at last a positive move to improve motorcycle safety using humour as the medium. In a new Europe wide road safety campaign developed by the
Association des Constructeurs Europeens de Motorcycles (ACEM) 13 cartoons will be released on a monthly basis to highlight and educate about the everyday risks riders of powered two wheelers (PTWs) face.
The aim of the campaign is to raise riders awareness of the various risks posed by road layouts and traffic sitautions.
Lucky 13 is a motorcyclist and is the main star of the cartoons. Like many others he is on the road every day. He’s also a lucky guy. He doesn’t know that the roadway isn’t always a safe place to ride his motorcycle, yet some how he pulls through every time. Don’t be like him, don’t count on your luck like he does. And learn from his mistakes.
The first cartoon is entitled "How to Avoid Accidents at Junctions" - see cartoon below.
You can download the cartoon for yourself from

Well done the the ACEM, hopefully these cartoons will leading to greater awareness of the risks involved in riding a motorcycle, scooter or moped!
Ride safe.
