discounts to riders New gear? Update your policy.

Nine out of 10 motorcycle accidents involve untrained riders. When you’re controlling this much force, it’s essential to have complete command of your machine. More than 90 percent of riders involved in accidents haven’t taken a formal motorcycle driving course.

When cars and motorcycles collide, it’s usually because the driver of the car failed to see the cyclist. With more SUVs on the road, it’s even more critical to take extra steps to become more visible. Use your headlamps both night and day - and wear yellow, red or orange jackets to make yourself easy to see. Make a point of positioning yourself in your lane for visibility. Remember: Ride sober.

CSIS offers discounts to riders who attend the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s safe riding courses or are active in one of 25 approved groups that promote safe riding. Do both those things and you can reduce your premium by up to 10 percent.
