THUNDER FUN Inspiration Do not look for sanctuary in anyone except yourself. The greatest gift is to give people your enlighten, to share it has to be the greatest. All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If we fail to look after others when they need help, who will look after us?
Interesting Facts about Michigan In this lovely state, there are over three thousand miles of shoreline, 11,000 inland lakes, and millions of acres of forest cover. There are nearly 10 million residents in the Mitten State, spread out over eighty-three diverse counties. But what Michigan has the most of is…reasons to visit. Our delightful peninsulas are more than just a sum of their lovely parts. Of course, we have access to four of the five Great Lakes and slopes for skiing. But the heart of Michigan is more than its topography—it’s an attitude, a history, and a lifestyle that make Michigan a special place to visit.
Contacting your legislators makes a difference! Case in point is the recent passage of House Bill 5370 into law on June 6, 2022 which makes it a civil infraction for a vehicle intending to turn left across a lane of traffic, at a location other than an intersection, to fail to yield the right of way to oncoming traffic. ABATE supported and advocated for this bill as all too frequently vehicles turn left directly in front of motorcycles at areas outside of intersections, such as turning into a restaurant or driveway. As an attorney representing injured motorcyclists, I drafted House Bill 4809 to allow injured motorcyclists to instead seek payment of their no-fault benefits from their own auto insurance, hence get the benefit of their own choice of medical benefit cap. Use your voices to pass this bill as I can report first hand that this is devastating motorcyclists on a daily basis! If anyone has any questions or if I can be of legal assistance to you or yours don’t hesitate to call me at (248-569-4646) or e-mail at Dondi@buckfirelaw. com. Also, I give presentations to organizations state-wide and there is never a charge to have me out
