LANSING, Mich. — Senator Gary Peters has unveiled the Motorcycle Safety Awareness Act of 2025, a significant initiative designed to bolster safety education at Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) locations nationwide. This legislation aims to address the growing concern over motorcycle-related accidents and fatalities by increasing awareness and knowledge among both new and experienced riders.
The proposed act seeks to implement comprehensive educational programs that would provide essential information on safe riding practices, the importance of wearing helmets, and understanding traffic laws specific to motorcyclists. By integrating these programs into DMV services, the legislation hopes to reach a broader audience, ensuring that all motorcycle operators are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the roads safely.
Peters emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating that enhancing motorcycle safety education is crucial for reducing accidents and saving lives. The act represents a proactive step towards fostering a safer environment for motorcyclists and other road users alike.
