Does anyone know michigans laws reguarding passengers in sidecars?
Somebody mentioned to me today they thought passengers where illegal.
I never new this,thought I better check it out,but cant find much about michigan
I just did a computer scan of the Michigan Vehicle codes. http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(3j2m0i2i4q5ghfmf4fwgxy45))/documents/mcl/pdf/mcl-Act-300-of-1949.pdf
The word sidecar does not appear even once. The only mention of motorcycle passengers is that you may not carry a passenger if you have a temporary "Learner's" permit, and you may not carry a passenger that is unable to reach the normal footpegs.
I'm in the U.P. Guess I'd be picked up by this time. Best have the passenger wear a helmet, too. Checked with our local H-D mechanic who rides a s/c. Not a problem.
Thank you for the replys
Whoa.....another post about passengers. Hmmm....i was not aware of the law that requires feet to reach the pegs, however, it is totally logical. Joyce has another post that is somewhat related concerning proposed law in Ontario.
