ABATE of the Garden State Mission Statement
To enhance and protect the motorcyclist riding rights in New Jersey. To enhance the common good and general welfare of New Jersey’s motorcycling community by promoting education, awareness, safety concerns and to foster a general understanding by motorcyclist and motorist alike. To make our voices heard on legislation affecting riders in New Jersey on a local, state and national level by creating a united community of motorcyclists connected through our organization. Furthermore, we address any legislation concerning motorcyclists locally, statewide or nationally. Finally, we will engage in charitable activities benefiting our organization, the motorcycle community and society at large.
What have MRO’s (Motorcycle Rights Organizations) done to help New Jersey riders?
We now have fair weather inspection dates
We now have quality rider education
We now have handicapped motorcycle license plates
We now have a 2 point reduction for rider education
We now no longer have moving violation points for not wearing a helmet
Most of these issues will not only help all motorcyclists, but will either directly or indirectly help all motorists.
1. Re-enforce covered load laws
2. Improved public training programs for all motorist and motorcyclist
3. Raising awareness of motorcycles to reduce accidents
4. Modification of the mandatory helmet law
5. Legal lane splitting when motorcyclists are stopped in a traffic jams
6. Go on Red with unresponsive red lights.
7. Make it legal to pump your own gas
8. Handle bar heights, make New Jersey law conform to other states
9. Make it legal to park multiple bikes per spot
10. Is New Jersey misusing funds dedicated to motorcycle safety?
Remember, that the NHTSA has stated that education and training is the most effective way to reduce motorcycle accidents.
We are also working on “No Tolls” for cyclist on NJ State Toll Roads
