Default Question

Does anyone know what the law says for visitors to Michigan? Do they need to carry the additional medical insurance?

The answer is you dont have to carry anything because the law does not stipulate that you can prove you meet the requirements:

In a memo sent to all posts, Michigan State Police Director Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue clarified for officers how the law will be enforced.
-- The law does not require a motorcycle operator to carry or present proof he or she has a motorcycle endorsement for at least two years or has successfully passed the motorcycle safety course.
-- The law does not require a motorcycle operator or passenger to carry proof of the $20,000 security required to operate or ride a motorcycle without a helmet.
-- Officers may not stop a motorcyclist for not wearing a helmet based on the possibility the operator or passenger may be in violation of the helmet law.
-- Operators and passengers who violate the new law are responsible for a civil infraction.
