HELP US HELP YOU!
Are you aware that insurance
companies can legally deny motorcycle riders medical benefits because of a
loop-hole in a Federal Law?
Are you aware that starting with 2006, with the new EPA regulations it
will be illegal for you to modify anything on your motorcycle that will affect
emissions?
These are just 2 issues that will impact you as a biker directly. This is why
you need to belong to a motorcycle rights organization.
What
have MRO's (Motorcycle Rights Organizations) done to help
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
Garden State ABATE has been in contact with South Jersey
None of these rights just happened. It took dedication and hard work to make them happen! What we want is your support for upcoming legislation. We need to have bikers' support to get things done.
Garden State ABATE is now working with legislators willing to sponsor bills that affect all bikers. We need YOUR support to make this happen.
ABATE of the Garden State is fighting for motorcycle rights on several state level issues. The helmet issue is only one of many at the top of our agenda, there are other issues also being brought to the attention of our legislators:
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?
11. Increase penalties for drivers who injure or kill bikers because of right of way violations.
Remember, that the NHTSA has stated that education and training is the most effective way to reduce motorcycle accidents.
With our participation in a wide variety of
charity runs, bikers are among the most generous contributors to charities.
This is a good thing, however, charity begins at home. What we are
proposing is that you take the money you would have contributed to a single
charity event and earmark it towards a Motorcycle Rights Organization. On the
national level, we strongly recommend that you join the MRF, the Motorcycle Riders
Foundation. This organization is working very hard to represent biker rights in
