Motorcycle Safety Awareness: New Mandatory Driver Education Requirements.
This Act aims to improve road safety by making motorcyclist awareness training mandatory in standard driver education courses. New drivers will be required to learn about "share-the-road" principles and state-specific motorcycle laws, such as lane-splitting. These changes, effective two years after enactment, are designed to reduce accidents involving motorcycles and scooters.
Key points
Mandatory Motorcycle Awareness: Driver education courses must now include instruction and testing on how to safely interact with motorcyclists.
State Funding Requirements: States must meet stricter criteria (3 instead of 2) to qualify for federal safety grants, with the new driver education requirement being mandatory.
Focus on Specific Laws: Training covers general road-sharing principles and state-specific rules like lane-splitting or lane-filtering.
