It's that time of year when the two wheeled vehicles are out on the highways in large numbers.

Sergeant Brent Hawker with the High River RCMP says they've noticed them too.

"Yes, they're certainly out there and we'll start focusing on them, ensuring that people are adequately licensed to operate the vehicles, that they're wearing their helmets and they're using care and caution while moving about," he says.

Sgt. Hawker says other drivers need to be extra careful when shoulder checking to make sure they see what's all around them to avoid a collision with a motorcycle.
