October 15th, 2026New Campaign Helping Victorian Riders Put Safety First

A bold new Transport Accident Commission (TAC) campaign is urging Victorian motorcyclists to check the safety rating of their gear before hitting the road, helping reduce their risk of serious injury in a crash.

The TAC has launched its Check Your Gear Before You Hit the Road campaign alongside MotoCAP, Australia’s independent motorcycle protective gear testing and star rating system.

The campaign encourages people who ride motorcycles to use MotoCAP to choose safer protective gear to wear on every ride.

Motorcyclists continue to be overrepresented in Victoria’s road trauma, accounting for around 20 per cent of road fatalities and 21 per cent of serious injuries despite making up fewer than four per cent of registered vehicles.
