With summer season in full force, motorcycles are in abundance across the province. And whether your a new or novice rider, it's never a bad idea to refresh yourself on some safe driving tips.
Gearing Up is a motorcycle training class offered from Safety Services New Brunswick, specializing in different areas of safety.
Bill Walker from the training program tells CHSJ news driving a motorcycle is not an intuitive skill, it has to be taught.
"Anybody can get on a motorcycle, twist throttle make it go apply the breaks to make it stop, but there are some concepts that aren't intuitive. That includes emergency breaking, collision avoidance and counter steering."
Walker adds out of the forty years the 21 hour class has been taught they've had very few fatalities from graduates.
Classes run from April until late fall in nine different locations across the province.
