With two motorcycle-related fatalities having occurred in the city over the past week, CAA reminds vehicle drivers and motorcyclists alike to share the road and be particularly vigilant of one another.
CAA community relations consultant Michael Stewart says with the arrival of summer, more drivers are on the road, including motorcyclists taking advantage of the seasonal weather. That requires an elevated level of awareness and road-sharing respect.
Stewart reminds vehicle drivers to keep an eye out for motorcycles, which often appear much smaller in their rear-view mirrors and during over-the-shoulder lane checks.
Despite the two recent motorcycle-related accidents in the city, Stewart says driving a vehicle or operating a motorcycle remains as safe as regularly practiced road sharing practices are strong.
