abstract="Last year 43 motorcyclists lost their lives (14% of the road toll) while another 1,044 were seriously injured on Victorian roads. 56% were single vehicle crashes with at least 50% of these crashes involving excessive speed . Motorcycles account for approximately 3% of the vehicle fleet in the state.  In January 2009, Victoria Police with the support of VicRoads and the Victorian Motor Cycle Advisory Council (VMAC), commenced an ambitious two year &quot;Community Policing and Education&quot; project with the objective to positively impact on motorcycle safety.  This new initiative provides a focus on communication and awareness for both motorcyclists and vehicle drivers while ensuring that a complementary enforcement strategy is maintained. In addition to normal policing activities, five major state-wide policing operations will be undertaken annually supported by 50 regional operations each year. The program is to be fully evaluated.<p />",
