Organised by the Motorcycle Council of NSW (MCC of NSW), every October is Motorcycle Awareness Month (MAM). This month is used as a celebration of motorcycling and for drivers to #lookoutformotorcycles .
Each year, several awareness campaigns are used to educate drivers how they can watch out for motorcycles on the road.
The MCC of NSW also organises rides and activities to get riders and their love of motorcycling together.
Join in on the MAM 2023 fun!

The ads will be heard through Spotify’s music and podcasts to younger drivers as their in-car listening habits are different.
They will provide easy tips to help drivers be more aware and look twice for motorcycles.
