Bike Winnipeg is pleased that the Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation has made changes to the Driver Handbook (see pages 72 to 75) to improve cyclist safety. In particular, we are pleased to see that the latest edition of the handbook includes clear instructions for motorists overtaking cyclists.
The safest and most courteous way to pass a cyclist
This is a great change, and we are very happy to see this improved messaging in the Driver’s Handbook.
As a reminder, please consider making a donation in support of our Safe Passing Campaign, putting a safe passing message onto the backs of buses across Winnipeg.
