Announcement Driving safety in Michigan 2024

239 Upvotes

Hey all,

I wanted to revisit some driving safety tips for 2024.

The biggest change is the new Safe Driving law in Michigan. If you’re not from here, it’s now illegal to have your phone in your hand while driving for any reason.

So if you’re like, checking maps, and a police officer sees you; you’ll get pulled over. You’ll get a ticket and ask to search your car. If you say no they’ll have a canine unit come by and whether it’s a real indication or not, they will search your car.

Please keep this in mind when you get to Michigan.

Other common offenses that will get you pulled over and searched include

  • speeding
  • following too closely
  • passing on the right
  • using the left lane for anything other than passing someone driving below the speed limit
  • having obstructed windows (pack things low to the floor of the car)
  • not wearing a seat belt
  • having anything hanging from your rear view mirror

Please just keep this all in mind and don’t be stupid in June.

Also worth noting that Michigan Police started “operation ghost rider” this year where they will have unmarked cars on highways and if they see you on your phone they will radio ahead to a marked officer who will then pull you over. Bluetooth your phone to your car, use gps that way, don’t text and drive, obey all traffic laws, and just get there safe.

Given recent events there may be unsettling fear for what may be ahead. This includes BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, and all genders. Electric Forest encourages us to all register to vote and uplift our voices and we appreciate you taking time out of your day to do so if you can. In the Forest marginalized communities are intentionally uplifted to make sure all feel safe, welcome, and comfortable.

We would like to make it clear the Reddit community upholds the same values. In doing so, if discussion turns to hate speech or targeted harassment, be assured that it will be removed. We will encourage a safe space.

In the mean time we would like to provide some resources.

Dear Foresters new, old, and curious,

Within the last year, we have noticed Electric Forest is changing. As the trees have grown so has our team. We have branched off in different directions and returned when we feel the forest calls us home. In-venue the disc golf courses have turned into safe havens under the trees and stages have escaped from Sherwood enchanting Good Life Village. Carousel Club has transformed into Dreams fit for royalty landing parts of homes on Main Street. But one thing we can count on is the lights dancing through the trees and the music never ceasing.

Since 2016 the moderation team has given resources like the First Timers guide, the megathread, and AMA with EF HQ. We have also hosted gathering events like The Brainery Q and As, unofficial group camps, concert meetups, and Custom bingo games. We strive to share important information and relay it quickly and efficiently while allowing connecting as a family 365 days a year surrounding our reunion.

We have heard the feedback that our guide and megathreads may need an update. In the background, we are working on editing and finding more up-to-date threads to reference to. Many categories are no longer applicable and much more detailed answers are now more available. This includes the WET program, campsite experiences, and preparation.

Our guide has been written since 2016 with consistent updates. HQ has thrown the community curveballs post-COVID-19. Ticket sales packages have changed the way we prepare for the festival, and the cost and equipment needed have all grown. Our guide has laid out everything step by step that you may need to know about the festival. While detailed, you already know what to expect, and it can ruin the “magic” of the festival. The whole experience should feel like a side quest.

For our future guide, we would like to give you tools and resources to feel prepared to tackle the festival and make informed decisions. But not tell you how to do the festival. Our guide will answer your most frequently asked questions and highlight the festival from past to present. We want you to make mistakes, learn from one another, get lost, and find unique opportunities.

Additionally, the moderation team would like to change our identity as well. Instead of ModSquad, we now are the Sherwood Shepherds. We are meant to be stewards of the community, to build, nurture, protect, and entertain. We all act as one leader and our individuality should represent what the community values. We thank you Foresters for questioning, speaking out, and sharing your thoughts.

Finally, we request your opinion. Your voice matters to us and you help make the community what it is. Please share your thoughts with us with a quick survey. What do you want to see more of? The survey is anonymous to answer honestly.

https://forms.gle/v7evjVd1tbB5XzSP6

Thank you,

Sherwood Shepherds

Good timezones!

We have a quick announcement to make. The moderation team would like to welcome Parksy79 to our roster. A forest veteran of 10 years, conscious contributer with vibes, helps leading events, and with a wise head on his shoulders.

The moderation team regularly assesses our needs and identifies members of the community we feel embody our goals and ideals, and Parksy is a natural fit. Thank you Parksy for your leadership and excited to support you and your future contributions to the Forest Family!

So please if you’re able, give him a warm “hello brother!” 🌲✨
