Police expect motorcycle enthusiasts to return November 13th, with changing weather and road conditions among the safety concerns.
Motorcycle enthusiasts will once again make their way to Port Dover on Friday, November 13th, and Norfolk County OPP are reminding everyone heading to the community to make safety a priority.
While November's Friday the 13th gathering is expected to be smaller than events held during the summer, police say favourable weather could encourage more riders and visitors to attend.
Officers will maintain a visible presence in and around Port Dover throughout the day to support public safety.
With winter approaching, police are encouraging motorcyclists and other drivers to check weather forecasts and road conditions before setting out.
Even after a relatively mild fall, conditions can change quickly, creating potentially hazardous situations for travellers.
The OPP are reminding motorists to drive sober, follow posted speed limits, maintain safe following distances and avoid distractions behind the wheel.
Motorcyclists are also encouraged to wear appropriate protective equipment, while all drivers should adjust their speed to suit road and weather conditions and clearly signal their intentions.
Additional caution is recommended in downtown Port Dover, where pedestrian and vehicle traffic may be heavier than usual.
Anyone who witnesses suspicious or criminal activity during the event can contact Norfolk County OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
