​Special Notice:

March 23, 2021: Spring is here! The State of Michigan has created a new system for driver education providers to use for submitting required paperwork. This will also change what information is gathered from students and their families during sign up. Students enrolled in classes starting after March 16, 2021 will now receive a plastic license from the Secretary of State for their Level 1 License

Maier, LLC is working on some program improvements this year to make everything easier for you, our customers. We look forward to implementing the changes in the near future. Also, check out the 2021 schedules on our Teen Driver Ed page.  Classes are filling up quickly! We are working diligently to serve the large backlog of customers and we truly appreciate all your patience and understanding during this time. We are still under restrictions by the State regarding class size limitations, which only allows us to run our classes at about half capacity.  Please understand that some classes will have to be run virtually if schools are unable to allow us to use their facilities. 

WELCOME!​

Motorcycle Safety Courses

Maier LLC provides two types of motorcycle instruction at our Bad Axe and North Branch training ranges.
  • Basic Rider Course:  This class (also known as BRC) is for students with little or no experience with motorcycles.  Students learn the physical and mental skills important for operating a motorcycle.  In the classroom riders will learn ways to minimize risk and handle special riding situations.  During the riding portion of the BRC, students will be coached to develop the physical skills of basic control that include:  clutch/throttle control, straight line riding, stopping, turning and shifting, and then move on to more advanced skills such as stopping quickly, cornering, and swerving.
  • Returning Rider BRC:  This class is designed for motorcycle riders who need “brushing up” on their basic skills as well as learn advanced riding techniques.
All classroom and range training is based upon the curriculum and course structure developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF).
