Traci Keller+FollowCould lane filtering make Michigan roads safer?Lane filtering—where motorcyclists move to the front of stopped traffic at lights—is gaining traction in several states, and there’s growing talk about whether Michigan should follow suit. Unlike lane splitting (riding between moving cars), lane filtering only happens when traffic is stopped, and research suggests it could actually reduce rear-end crashes for riders. Right now, both practices are illegal here, but with states like California and Arizona seeing positive results, some Michigan riders are pushing for change. Would you feel safer sharing the road if lane filtering was allowed, or does it sound risky? Let’s hear your take! #Transportation #MichiganRoads #MotorcycleSafety00Share
dalemiller+FollowMotorcycle Stats That’ll Make You Think TwiceMotorcycles look cool and feel even cooler, but the numbers are wild: In 2023, motorcyclists made up 15% of all traffic deaths—even though bikes are just 3.4% of vehicles. Riders are 20x more likely to die in a crash than car drivers, and most fatal crashes happen in head-on collisions or when cars turn left in front of bikes. Helmets help a ton, but even then, you’re way more exposed than in a car. Still tempted to ride? #MotorcycleSafety #RoadRisks #DidYouKnow #Cars1410Share
Dr. Michael Henson+FollowDeath Valley: The Hottest Ride You’ll RegretDeath Valley in summer? Not the flex you think it is. Park officials are warning motorcyclists to skip those scorching rides—temps can hit 130°F, and even your gear can’t save you from the heat. Fires and heatstroke are real risks, and every year, riders get hurt or worse. If you’re itching for that desert ride, wait for cooler months (October-April). Trust, your bike (and body) will thank you! #MotorcycleSafety #DeathValley #TravelSmart #Travel20Share
Alison Rogers+FollowDeath Valley’s 130°F Summer Warning for RidersDeath Valley is basically telling motorcyclists: don’t even think about riding here in the summer unless you want to risk heatstroke. Temps can hit 130°F, and the pavement gets hotter than a frying pan—seriously, it can melt your tires. Park rangers say every year riders get hurt or worse because of the brutal heat. If you’re itching for that bucket-list ride, wait until fall or spring when you won’t roast in your leathers. Trust, the desert views will still be epic! #DeathValley #MotorcycleSafety #TravelTips #Spirituality00Share
Michael Smith+FollowMotorcycle Crashes Spike in Warm WeatherDid you know nearly 60% of motorcycle fatalities happen between May and September? As soon as the temps rise, motorcycle crashes shoot up—last year saw the highest number of rider deaths since 1975. AAA says it’s mostly because more people are out, and drivers just aren’t watching for bikes. If you’re hitting the road, double-check those blind spots and give riders extra space. Let’s keep everyone safe this summer! #MotorcycleSafety #RoadAwareness #SummerDriving #StayAlert #Transportation100Share
