Biker Rogue, attempt by the NHTSA to push for Mandatory Motorcycle Rider Training

The following is part of a veiled attempt by the NHTSA to push for Mandatory Motorcycle Rider Training through out the country

The Motorcycle Safety Counsel is profiting heavily from this and saving the Government Money buy Eliminating Testing.

To make Motorcycle Rider Training Mandatory and not doing it for any other form of highway operator is prejudice.

Forcing people to pay large amounts of money to attend one of the schools has increased people Not Getting Licensed.

There is Money in every license and registration to pay for education. States regularly use this money for other things.

All States should have operator testing facilities and everyone should be given the opportunity to try and pass.

If a person can not pass the test they then can get training which should be free of charge to the student and be paid for from the money the state has already collected for education.

If this was really about Safety and Not About Making Money then it would already be happening.

Motorcyclist need to come out Very Strongly against this.

In case you are not aware of it there are discussions going on to Make It Mandatory for Motorcycle Riders To Go To School Every Five (5) Years OH YEA and Pay.

Do Not Let It Get That Far STOP IT NOW!!!!!

Hemet Police to target motorcycle safety next week By City News Service, on June 11th, 2011 Motorcyclists with a need for speed and a penchant for taking dangerous shortcuts will be on the Hemet Police Department’s radar next week.
The Hemet Police Department will conduct a specialized “Motorcycle Safety Enforcement Operation” on Tuesday in an effort to continue lowering deaths and injuries, said Hemet police Lt. Dean Evans.

He cited speeding, unsafe turning and impairment due to alcohol and other drugs as leading factors in motorcycle crashes. Evans also cited inexperience as a major factor in motorcycle crashes.
“Between 2006 and 2008, 58 percent of motorcycle operators killed under age 25 were not properly licensed,” he said. “Riders, young and old, are encouraged to be properly licensed and to seek training and safety information.”
California Office of Traffic Safety data show that over the past three years, fatal motorcycle crashes have declined by 30 percent. However, California is still ranked in the top three states in the nation for motorcycle fatalities.
“Motorcyclists are much more vulnerable than others sharing the road,” said OTS Director Christopher Murphy. “Motorcyclists require special skills and abilities to reduce the risk of being involved in a crash.”
He said the California Motorcyclist Safety program provides extensive training to riders. More information is available at www.CA-msp.org or (877) 743-3411.
Tuesday’s crackdown is being funded through a

National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration grant.
