The Motorcycle Safety Program has been training motorcyclists since 1985 to ride safely. Special safety skills include safe turning and u-turning, emergency stopping, sharing the road safely with other vehicles, and obeying all traffic laws on a motorcycle.
Motorcyclists come from all ages and walks of life.
They are young and old, professionals and homemakers, and come from varied ethnic backgrounds. Mr. Slade is a recent graduate of the course at the Prince George's Community College site. All of these program participants will be available for media interviews following the event. Courses are located at Allegany, Carroll, Harford and Prince George's community colleges, as well as the Glen Burnie, Annapolis, Hagerstown, Frederick, Salisbury and Waldorf MVA offices. Training is also available at Cardinal Gibbons School in Baltimore and the Orbital Sciences Corporation in Montgomery County.
