This coin is being released to help raise awareness of motorcycles on the roads.
This coin is in memory of Todie Phillips of Manitou Beach, MI. He passed away August 12 2008 as a result of a motorcycle accident, he was only 49 years old.
Tips for car drivers:
Give the motorcyclist the entire lane when passing. Motorcycles need the entire lane to avoid road hazards that wouldn't affect cars. Especially in the spring when gravel on the road and potholes are more common.
Don't pull out in front of a motorcycle. Realize that it's more difficult to gauge a motorcycle's speed and distance because of their smaller size.
"The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of motorcycle accidents. The driver of the other vehicle involved in collision with the motorcycle did not see the motorcycle before the collision, or did not see the motorcycle until too late to avoid the collision."
