Bikers May Take the Road Next Friday

PORT DOVER - Friday the 13th is coming up next week and the Town of Port Dover is expecting a few bikers to make the trip. 

Obviously they are not expecting the hundreds of thousands of people that a Spring or Summer event would generate, however in years past, several bikers have made the trip in the winter. How many actually show up will depend on the weather. If it is a nice sunny day, you can expect to see a lot of bikes on the road next Friday. 

Norfolk OPP are preparing for the event and reminding everyone to be patient due to the possibility of increased motorcycle traffic. The motoring public are being asked to be extra vigilant and to take a little more time when making manoeuvres such as signalling turns and checking blind spots.

Vehicle operators are encouraged to check their mirrors frequently in order to be more aware of activity around their vehicle. This simple safety skill, while driving, will help to prevent unnecessary collisions and increase road safety for everyone.   

Police will be on hand to ensure the safety of those in attendance and to assist with any traffic related issues. No roadways are being closed unless an emergency arises. The Norfolk County OPP is urging everyone that will be attending this event to plan ahead if consuming intoxicating substances.
