Motorcycles on the roads
May means more motorcycles on the Sea to Sky Highway.
May is also provincially declared Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.
According to the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, six out of 10 crashes involving a motorcycle in B.C. happen at an intersection.
"Police report that driver distraction, failing to yield the right of way, and improper turning are the top factors for vehicles that collide with motorcycles," reads the ICBC site.
The Crown corporation provides the following tips for drivers:
- Scan intersections carefully and take an extra moment to look for motorcycles when turning left.
- Stay alert and avoid distractions that take your mind off driving or your eyes off the road.
- Allow at least three or four seconds of following distance behind a motorcycle and plenty of lane space when you pass.
- Be ready to yield, as a motorcycle is often closer than it seems. Remember, it can be hard to tell how fast they're travelling.
