Warren Broussard is President of the Motorcycle Awareness Campaign or MAC for short. The group formed after the deaths of three of Warren's friends and riding partners were killed in separate accidents by inattentive drivers of automobiles.

Broussard says “The Motorcycle Awareness Campaign is intended to promote awareness among motorists in addition to safety and training for motorcyclists. MAC is not a social group; MAC does not support charities and does not favor one brand of motorcycle or a particular kind of riding. We believe that speed, chemical, physical and/or mental impairment and right-of-way infringement are the primary causes of crashes between motorcyclists and other motorists. Our purpose is to do everything we can to lower the motorcycle crash rate.”Broussard has a very moving story and one that all motorcyclists should hear.

“Command Respect While Riding”
We want other highway-users to afford us a degree of respect when we ride; to us motorcyclists, ‘respect’ means that other motorists recognize us as vulnerable humans, and afford us a generous measure of time and space. How can riders ‘command,’ or at least, assertively request respect from other highway-users? The good news is that the way we dress, the ways we ride and the different ways we can communicate with others on the roadway can get us the respect, the safety-cushions that we need to reduce risk while riding.
We’ll discuss how you, as a rider, can ‘Command Respect’ while riding. Tune in!

Roger "keep'n it safe" Wiles
Pete Tamblyn, Senior Instructor
As a youngster, Pete honed his estimable riding skills while offroading in the Tennessee hills. So when asphalt was later invented, it was only natural that he apply his craft to the pavement. In the years since, he’s done just about everything on a motorcycle--from flat tracking to dualsporting to long distance touring. He’s also worked extensively as a motorcycle tour guide, leading tours of Mexico for Pancho Villa Moto Tours and showcasing his beloved southern highlands to travelers from Norway to New Zealand. With Pete’s guidance, we set up our first “Safe in the Smokies” ride back in 1995, and he still delights in leading our guests to hidden nuggets that few visiting motorcyclists ever get to see. Pete’s far more than a tour guide, however. He’s a highly skilled rider with more than a decade of experience delivering on-road radio commentary.
