Province Proclaims May As Motorcycle Safety Month

The province is proclaiming May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.The goal is to help prevent fatalities and call driver attention to increased motorcycle traffic on local roads. Last weekend, a 51 year old man was killed on Highway 12 in Aldersville when his motorcycle left the road and crashed into some trees. Police have not released the cause of the crash but road conditions were clear at the time of the incident. Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal Minister Maurice Smith says drivers need to be alert and especially careful as the use of motorcycles increases at this time of year. More information on motorcycle safety and training courses is available on the Safety Services Nova Scotia website.
