2022 was deadliest riding season in five years, with 44 motorcyclists perishing in collisions
Curbing last year's spike in motorcyclist fatalities on Ontario Provincial Police- -patrolled roads is as simple as riders and drivers maintaining safe space and driving habits around each other at all times.
Last year marked a particularly tragic riding season and the highest number of motorcyclist deaths since 2017, with 44 riders losing their lives in collisions. Failing to yield right of way, excessive speed and inattentive driving are among the leading contributing factors in OPP-investigated motorcyclist fatalities over the past 10 years. The data speaks to poor and careless behaviours on the part of riders and other drivers, with motorcyclists at fault in 61 per cent of the fatalities, and drivers of other vehicles at fault in 39 per cent of the deaths.
With Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month underway in May, the OPP is reminding motorcyclists and other motorists to be responsible, defensive, attentive, and alcohol/drug-free drivers throughout the riding season. Motorcyclists are reminded to wear bright, protective equipment and clothing to increase their visibility to other motorists.
Promoting motorcycle safety through public education and enforcement forms part of the OPP's commitment to saving lives on Ontario roads, waterways and trails.
