Utah lawmakers want to take a deeper look at lane filtering and other motorcycle safety measures, as they look to solve a spike in motorcycle fatalities.
Members of the Utah Legislature's Transportation Interim Committee agreed on Wednesday to form a "small" working group to explore improvements before potentially opening any new bill files for future legislation, including an extension of the state's lane-filtering law, which is slated to expire next year without intervention.
Their vote came after the Utah Highway Patrol recommended expanding helmet or safety education requirements in response to last year's 72 motorcycle fatalities — the highest total in Utah's record.
