Emphasizing the necessity for riders to wear proper protective gear, abide by traffic laws, and engage in defensive driving practices, the resolution seeks to foster a culture of safety on Michigan's roadways.

Summary

House Resolution 0098 aims to declare May 2023 as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month in the state of Michigan. The resolution emphasizes the importance of motorcycle safety for both riders and other road users, noting the high number of registered motorcycles and motorcycle endorsements within the state. It advocates for increased awareness and understanding of motorcycle operation’s unique skills and the significant risks involved in riding without proper safety measures.

The resolution encourages collective participation from the public, highlighting that highway safety benefits all road users, making it a comprehensive approach to improving road safety.
