Quotes

With so much more traffic on the Island as we approach Cavendish Beach Music Festival, it’s important we’re all paying extra attention to our driving. And motorcycles always deserve extra attention. Summer is a busy traffic time, people are looking forward to being on PEI and enjoying everything the Island offers. Never drive impaired, don’t drive distracted, and drive aware.
