With the publication of the Mid Term Review by the European Commission in February 2006, ACEM has taken the opportunity to review the Plan for Action issued in 2004, and developed from this several road safety enhancing actions which are summarised in the first downloadable document.

The updated actions are organised and presented in the following areas:

A. Accident research: Understanding the situation and accident causation
B. Human aspects: Influencing behaviour and attitudes
C. Vehicle related aspects: Key innovations improving safety
D. Infrastructure aspects: Need for a PTW friendly, forgiving road


Four further publications complement this package with further background information:

• ACEM view on PTW fatality statistics in Europe (Annex 2)

• Indicative overview of Safety Innovations (Annex 3)

• Indicative overview of Training Initiatives (Annex 4)

• Outline of ACEM new Charter Commitment (Annex 5)

ACEM believes that these initiatives and their expected results can be amplified by complementary actions from other stakeholders, within a real "shared responsibility" effort, partnerships and coordinated actions towards the common objective of improving the road safety of powered two wheeler users.

ACEM looks forward to discussing further cooperation with the competent authorities and other stakeholders to create a safe and sustainable environment for users of powered two wheelers.
