September 18th was declared a Day Without Road Deaths, focusing attention on the vulnerability of two-wheeled vehicle drivers.
Cyclists, electric scooter and moped riders, as well as motorcyclists – they all share the road with us, but are exposed to significantly greater risk. The lack of protective structure makes them extremely vulnerable in accidents. Often, their speed and agility, combined with their difficult visibility in city traffic, turn these road users into potential victims.
The message, published on September 17, 2025, appeals for shared roads and ensuring a safe space for two-wheeled vehicles. "They are fast, agile and often difficult to see... but they are also parents, sons and daughters, friends.", it emphasizes.
This appeal goes beyond the purely practical aspect of road safety, touching upon the ethical aspect of empathy and responsibility.
The organizers not only appeal to drivers to be more careful, but also highlight the human aspect of the problem, reminding us that behind every helmet lies a life that deserves protection.
The text of the appeal is laconic, but strongly emotionally charged, leading the reader to reflect on their own behavior on the road and the potential consequences of inattention.
The unofficial reactions of citizens in front of the offices of various organizations dedicated to road safety are eloquent: the feelings of anxiety and empathy are evident, showing the power of the emotional appeal.
The aim of the initiative is to raise public awareness of the problem and to motivate all road users towards more responsible and safer behavior.
