On Sunday 1 December, MotoCAP won the prestigious Road Safety Award at the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme awards in Monaco.

We’ve worked alongside a team of road safety partners to develop MotoCAP so the motorcycling community is equipped with more information about their choice of protective gear. MotoCAP has rated 43 pairs of pants, 82 jackets and 46 pairs of gloves so far.

Bernard Carlon, Executive Director Centre for Road Safety said the award was well deserved and showed Australia is leading the way in road safety both here and overseas.

“We are committed to lowering the road toll in innovative ways and the development of pioneering programs such as MotoCAP shows Australia really is looking to the future of road safety.

Motorcycle safety is particularly challenging from a road safety point of view, with riders having very little protection other than their helmet and their clothing when involved in a crash.

Dan Leavy, Manager Safer Vehicles from the Centre for Road Safety, attended the ceremony to accept the award on Transport for NSW’s behalf. “I am very proud of this milestone achievement which extends to everyone involved in this world-leading program.”
