Report: Helmet law repeal will result in more traffic fatalities, insurance costs
AAA Michigan strongly op-
poses legislation that will be considered by the House Com- mittee on Regulatory Reform in Lansing which would allow motorcyclists to ride with- out a helmet on the state’s roadways. The legislation will increase motorcycle fatalities and injuries and would in- crease costs for all motorists, AAA Michigan reports.
Every year, challengers of
Michigan’s mandatory motor- cycle helmet law try to get the law repealed without regard for the common good.
A
2005 AAA study found nearly 90 percent of AAA Michigan members opposed a repeal of the state’s mandatory motor- cycle helmet law, which has served Michigan well for more than 36 years.
A repeal of the motorcycle
helmet law will result in at least 30 additional motorcycle fatalities each year, along with 127 more incapacitating inju- ries and $129 million in added economic costs to Michigan citizens. This is based on the experience of other states where similar measures have been enacted.
As evidenced by increased
medical costs passed on to taxpayers, motorcycle deaths and long-term catastrophic in- juries are on the rise.
Motorcycle crashes account
for a disproportionate share of money paid out of the Michi- gan Catastrophic Claims Asso- ciation (MCCA), a fund which is supported by a surcharge on every auto insurance policy in Michigan. Although motor- cyclists represent 1.9 percent of the assessments paid into the MCCA, they account for 5 percent of all money paid out and 7 percent of all claims reported.
Since its incep-
U.S. expansion, new location
Further broadening its reach,
and to better serve small and medium sized businesses in Michigan, Red Spot Marketing, a marketing management firm with consultants positioned across the United States, the U.K and Canada, has expanded its operations with a new sat- ellite office in Southfield. The new office will allow Red Spot to provide integrated market- ing solutions and off-site mar- keting management to Michi- gan-based small and medium sized businesses. Red Spot Marketing has
tapped Bryan Whigam to lead the new office and all business development. Whigam brings 15 years of brand-building and business development exper- tise, in challenging catego- ries like healthcare, financial services, b2b, multicultural and automotive to Red Spot Marketing clients’ marketing needs.

tion in 1978, MCCA has reim- bursed member insurers more than $321 million for 712 mo- torcycle injury claims exceed- ing the threshold.
According to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Admin- istration (NHTSA), in 2007, 5,154 motorcyclists were killed – a 7 percent increase over the 4,837 motorcyclists
killed in 2006. In Michigan,
127 motorcyclists were killed and another 3,462 were in- jured in motorcycle crashes in 2008. The number of motor- cycle crashes in the state rose from 3,723 in 2007 to 3,969 in 2008.
NHTSA estimates that hel-
mets saved 1,784 motorcy- clists’ lives in 2007, and that
800 more could have been saved if all motorcyclists had worn helmets.
AAA Michigan urges legisla-
tors to keep Michigan’s man- datory motorcycle helmet law, and encourages residents to contact their local legislators on this important issue. To contact your local legislator, go to www.legislature.mi.gov.

Eternal optimist, eternity is now. Get in touch with your hopefulness and be a beacon to others. Try not to be taken in by promises made by others or promises you’ve made to yourself. Concerning your own affairs, avoid contemplating lofty subjects and seeking long-ranged solu- tions.

Lucky Numbers: 14, 28, 39
Some say optimism is fantasy. Suppose the good thing you’re optimistic about never comes. This week you’ll know that the joy of anticipating it is joy enough. Just the certainty of coming goodness is present goodness. The joy of tomorrow is available this week.

What a blessed week this will be. Spend it meditating on all that God has given you. This week think hard about some form of worship. Curtis Mayfield wrote a song titled “Who Do You Love?’’ Some- one should write one called “How Do You Love?’’ For your love lesson, the second song would be the one you should sing.
PISCES
Soul Affirmation: New intuitions create new plans and a new cast of characters.
