France And Motorcycle Safety Campaigns

july07pic3
The Minister of Transportation http://www.securiteroutiere.gouv.fr in France has started another safety campaign promoting motorcycle safety.

As usual, their ads are hard hitting, and do make you think, and as usual, they're not only geared to the motorcycle rider, but also car drivers.

Stay A Biker, On A Motorcycle

The first one is to make biker think before riding off on their motorcycle after a few drinks.

NOTE: For those of you who have never been in France, all bikers salute each other on the road, usually by pointing two fingers. That's the way of saying "hi there":

The small box on the bottom right says "Alcohol and speed are the two main cause of accidents when only the biker is to blame".

A Biker? Where's the biker?

The small box on the bottom right says "In 70% of all accidents between a motorcycle and a car, the car driver did not see the biker.

Look in your mirrors, put on your indicators and turn your head".
