Gibson Driver Education

Please look around and be aware always

Hey drivers! Spring is here and motorcycles are coming out of hibernation.

Niagara needs a road culture that puts safety first for everyone: pedestrians, drivers, cyclists and motorcyclists.

We continue to see a high number of injury and fatal motorcycle incidents on Niagara’s Regional roads. Last year alone, 51 motorcycle collisions were reported. Nearly half resulted in serious injury and seven were fatal.

Behind every statistic is a real person. A family member, co-worker, friend or neighbour. A life can change in an instant.

Help make Niagara’s roads safer for everyone:

• Be aware: Look and then look again before turning. Motorcycles can be easy to miss at first glance.

• Give space: Judge speed and distance carefully. Motorcycles often appear farther away than they are.

• Use caution at intersections: Never rush a turn. Trying to beat a motorcycle is a risk not worth taking.

• Drive with mutual respect: Share the road. Follow speed limits. Aggressive driving puts everyone at risk.

One careless move. One split-second decision. That’s all it takes to change a life. Let’s build a safety culture together.
