Martina loves riding her racing bike, but sadly she’s plagued by bad luck. Her expensive bike has been stolen for the second time.

Ruedi runs his own construction business. He’s on the road every day, often hauling construction materials. One day, while driving with his trailer attached, he gets pulled over by the police. They determine that the trailer’s carrying double the permitted load. Ruedi faces a charge of driving with an unsafe trailer. However, the charge is dropped in court, and Ruedi is partially acquitted. After AXA-ARAG intervenes, the driver and vehicle licensing office bans him from driving for one month instead of three. This is a big relief for Ruedi, who can’t work without his driver’s license.
