Minister responsible for SGI June Draude proclaimed May 8 to 14, 2010 as Motorcycle Safety Week in Saskatchewan. The week is marked each spring to encourage motorcyclists to take training and educate themselves about safe riding practices, and to remind other drivers that they have the responsibility to share the road with motorcyclists.
"Motorcycle riders are amongst the most vulnerable individuals that we share our roads with," Draude said. "They're five times more likely to be injured in a crash than those in passenger vehicles. All motorcycle riders should protect themselves, by taking training and following safety guidelines. Other drivers should keep an eye out for motorcyclists, especially after a winter without them on the roads."
The Saskatchewan Safety Council is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to reducing injuries and fatalities. The council sponsors Motorcycle Safety Week as part of its goal to educate people about safety.
"Riding a motorcycle is a thrill and a great adventure, especially after the winter off-season," Saskatchewan Safety Council Motorcycle Safety Instructor Barry Muir said. "But motorcyclists need to be sure they're road ready and so are their bikes. They need to brush up on their safety skills and take time refreshing their riding ability. Motorcycle Safety Week serves as an important reminder. We want you to make the most of the short motorcycle season; safe riding is the best way to do so."
In 2009, there were 202 injuries and two deaths resulting from motorcycle collisions in Saskatchewan.
"The saying an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is a familiar adage, but it holds true," Draude said. "Through education and training we can reduce accidents involving motorcycles and make the riding season enjoyable for all."
Information on motorcycle safety and training can be found on SGI's website at www.sgi.sk.ca.
