Well now that ought to put about 50,000 bikes back on the road that were taken off the road when Georgia Bikers didn't pay attention to what their elected officials were up to. Pay attention now cause remember, although you may not like politics, politicians do not like you. Sometimes it is wise to pay attention to your enemy!
Illinois - Senate Bill 2596, sponsored by Sen. William Delgado (D-Chicago), would provide for increased penalties for causing bodily harm or great bodily harm to a ‘vulnerable user of the public way.' The list of users includes motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, and other roadway users not in or on a motor vehicle.
YO Illinois, way to go. Now could one of you folk involved in getting that done contact the ABATE of Florida president and explain to him how this is done?
Minnesota - On July 3, 2008, the Crookston Daily Times reported on the need for motorcyclists to ride safe and sober this riding season. According to the article, more than 30 percent of motorcycle fatalities in the state in the last three years involved operators that were riding impaired. Additionally, 35 percent of motorcycle deaths on weekends (the period traditionally with the highest fatality rates) were "alcohol-related." Of special attention is the notification that East Grand Forks and Crookston Police Departments will be conducting increases DWI patrols in the month of July.
Folks this do be an increasing problem and as more people buy motorcycles the statistical ramification of this are going to hurt us bad. Not to mention those that are going to get hut dead for engaging in this behavior. If you don't have a substance abuse problem then don't abuse substances while riding. If you do have a substance abuse problem get help, please!
South Carolina - Joining six other states in permitting motorcyclists to proceed through stuck red lights under certain conditions, Senate bill 111, sponsored by Sen. Phil Leventis (D-Sumter), was signed into law by Governor Sanford. The legislation also provides for certain specialty license plates for motorcycles. SB-605 was signed into law June 16, 2008 by Governor Mark Sanford and takes effect immediately.
KUDO's to South Carolina for crediting people to make the right decision on their ownAdd to Technorati Favorites
