There are more than 600,000 licensed motorcyclists in
Michigan. In 2022 — the last year for which complete data is available —
Michigan recorded 3,158 motorcycle crashes statewide, of which 1,643 involved a
motorcyclist and passenger vehicle.
Motorcyclists also are four times more likely to
suffer serious injury and 24 times more likely to be killed in a crash than is
an occupant of a passenger vehicle, according to the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Data from the
Michigan State Police and NHTSA shows that most crashes happen at intersections
on local roads and streets, not on highways. The most frequent crash occurrence
is when a vehicle turning left strikes an oncoming motorcycle.
Beginning this year the Department VFW Riders Group is establishing an Annual Honor Award Program. The program criteria follows on this program page as a downloadable PDF document. This Honor Award Program is intended to recognize those Rider Groups which are fulfilling the Department Riders Group Mission Statement.
