State Sens. Marty Knollenberg, R-Troy, Vincent Gregory, D-Lathrup Village, and Margaret O'Brien, R-Portage, have introduced bills to try to reduce tensions that can arise for drivers and police officers alike during traffic stops.
The so-called "What to do if stopped by blue" legislation would require driver's education to include training for how to act during a traffic stop by police.
The training would be developed by the Michigan Secretary of State and the Michigan State Police.
Knollenberg says the bills are a response to incidents in which police officers or motorists are killed during routine traffic stops.
Police officers would also be required to give drivers they stop a business card with contact information where drivers can lodge complaints.
