Mark and Auntie,
I would venture a guess that if a fine and penalty of severe enough consequence were in place for right of way violations even the dumbest drivers would start looking. This would be of benefit to the dumb car drivers getting themselves smucked by trucks, and certainly a benefit to us motorcyclists.
AAA does not insure or offer insurance to motorcyclists. Does this not make you wonder why the are the leader of anti-freedom of choice endeavors all across the country? Why would they be concerned about motorcyclists heads? Could it be they are more concerned about their costs for Car Drivers hitting us?
Once again: ITS NOT ABOUT THE UTILITY OF HELMETS, ITS ABOUT THE FUTILITY OF HELMET LAWS. I encourage anyone that will be in a risky riding environment to wear a good helmet. I do. I will continue too. This is not just a question of adult choice. It is a stand against the Governor, backed by the Insurance Industry, refusing to create a program for Motorcylist Safety that is meaningful and effective.
