State Coverage Requirements

All motorcyclists in Oregon must meet state-mandated minimum coverage requirements:

• Property damage — $20,000 per accident
• Bodily Injury Liability — $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
• Uninsured motorist coverage — $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident

It's important to keep in mind that minimum coverage is often not enough to fully cover an accident when you’re at-fault and responsible for someone else’s injuries and medical expenses. It's important to evaluate your motorcycle riding habits and be realistic about what kind of coverage may be best for your situation.

Motorcycle Laws in Oregon

Fortunately, motorcycle laws here are pretty standard and reasonable. Here's a rundown of some requirements you should be familiar with:

• All riders must have a valid motorcycle-endorsed driver license or motorcycle instruction permit.
• Lane splitting is prohibited (no passing between cars).
• The Department of Transportation (DOT) requires all motorcyclists in Oregon & Washington to wear a helmet while on the roads.
• Mopeds also must be insured if being ridden on public roads.

Violating any of these laws could lead to fines and citations that will likely affect your driving record and insurance premiums.
