Route 138 and Motorcycle Safety

Route 138,a major highway along Quebec’s north shore,is a popular route for both tourists and local commuters. However, it presents unique challenges for motorcyclists due to varying road conditions and potential hazards. The Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) offers resources and safety tips for motorcyclists, emphasizing the importance of protective gear and defensive riding techniques.

Motorcycle accidents often result in more severe injuries compared to car crashes due to the lack of protective enclosure. Riders are especially vulnerable to head trauma, spinal injuries, and road rash. Wearing a helmet, jacket, gloves, and boots considerably reduces the risk of serious injury in the event of a collision.
