History

Historical Context

The Motorcycle Safety Awareness Act of 1986 aimed to combat rising motorcycle fatalities, which had reached alarming levels, with 148,000 deaths estimated from 1966 to 2008. By 1990, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported a 20% decrease in deaths due to enhanced education and training. However, recent fatal crashes in cities like Oklahoma City underscore the ongoing need for improved safety measures and public awareness.
