One of the major initiatives is that soon motorcycle owners will have to complete a 2 week training if they ever want to be on the open road again.

Louis Zabaneh, Minister of Transportation

"Within Cabinet we discussed it and the trainings will occur at ITVETs or at other certified institutions initially the proposal was for 6 weeks and any other jurisdictions go between 4 weeks and 6 weeks we know there is a cost involved of course and we have bio be cognizant of that so we are looking at a 2 week course, no more than $300 and where it will be a certified curriculum that will ensure that now riders and drivers of motorcycles will have the request skills to be able to maneuver their motorcycles in a safe way. For example we are on the roads and we see motorcycles trying to overtake on the right hand side or not having or using signals or 3 or 4 persons on a motorcycle all these different things right we have to be able to ensure that motorcycle riders are fully in tune with what is a safe way of riding that motorcycle."
