May is Motorcycle Awareness Month in Ontario
Society of Ottawa Area Riders (“SOAR”) reminds you that the month of May is “Motorcycle Awareness Month” in Ontario.
The warmer weather means the start of the motorcycle-riding season. But, believe it or not, motorcycles are hard to spot. In fact, statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association show that drivers, not motorcyclists, cause more than two-thirds of car/motorcycle crashes. The car driver either doesn’t see the oncoming motorcyclist or doesn’t see the motorcyclist in time to avoid a collision.
A motorcycle might be behind you, in the lane next to you, or at the next intersection. So double-check your mirrors and your blind spots before you change lanes. Please be aware, motorcycles are everywhere.
