Motorcycle awareness, safety and informational Videos

High Visibility Enforcement | Trooper Gill

 

More motorcycles travel on Washington’s roads in the summer months than any other time of the year. Unfortunately, summer is also when more motorcycle riders are killed or injured in crashes. In an effort to reduce these crashes, increased motorcycle safety patrols start July 10, and run through July 26 in Pierce, King, Snohomish, Clark, Yakima, and Spokane Counties.  The patrols will focus on illegal driving behaviors by both motorcycle riders and other vehicle drivers. Approximately 25 law enforcement agencies in these counties, including the Washington State Patrol, will be working overtime focused on drivers and riders who commit traffic safety violations.  In 2019, 92 motorcycle riders died in crashes on Washington’s roads. This was the highest number of motorcycle rider fatalities in our state since 1982. Through June of this year, 36 motorcycle riders have died in crashes on Washington’s roads.  It’s A Fine Line is an inclusive community of motorcycle riders advocating one common mission: zero motorcycle deaths by 2030. We want to share videos and stories about motorcycle events, rides, clubs, gear, safety and training because we believe that together we can save the lives of our friends, our families and our communities. http://itsafineline.com/patrols

Proposal to change Washington motorcycle helmet law

 Sen. Sharon Brown, R-Kennewick, is co-sponsoring Senate Bill 5007 that  would make it legal to not wear a motorcycle helmet in Washington State  if you're over 21. The current universal helmet law was enacted in 1990.

 "People need to take more training after their endorsement because this is a controlled environment. You can see the whole range - there are no trees, there are no animals, there are no emergencies that are going to come up."
