| If you have the time to complain about the things that trouble you then take the time to do something about it! Please read the information below which details pending legislation which has the potential to impact motorcycle owners throughout New Jersey and nationwide. If each of us takes the time to contact our representatives with our opinions we will be clearly heard and quickly recognized as a force to be respected. If enough of us speak as ONE voice our agenda will become acceptable to most and not worth opposing to the rest. Sen. Lautenberg, especially, has no desire to wage a battle for a losing cause. The muffler's history, we're open pipes now! LOUD, STRONG, IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. |
A JOINT RESOLUTION designating May as “Motorcycle Awareness Month” in the State of New Jersey. WHEREAS, Motorcycle riding is a popular form of recreation and transportation for thousands of people across the State and the nation; and WHEREAS, A growing number of New Jersey citizens are choosing motorcycles as an alternative mode of transportation; and WHEREAS, Motorcycles are convenient, provide fuel economy benefits to the environment, reduce traffic and parking congestion, and provide enjoyment to their riders; and WHEREAS, Many automobile drivers do not anticipate routine encounters with motorcyclists in traffic; and WHEREAS, All motorists need to operate with caution near motorcycles as they lack the protective armor of and are less visible than trucks and automobiles which increases the risk of serious accidental injury and death for motorcyclists; and WHEREAS, In recent years, more than half of all motorcycle fatalities involved a crash with another type of vehicle; and WHEREAS, Because a motorcyclist is more likely to die in a crash than an automobile driver or passenger, an increased knowledge and awareness of motorcyclists can lessen the occurrence of injuries and fatalities to motorcyclists; and WHEREAS, Due to the increased number of motorcycles on the roads and highways of our State and because motorcycle awareness and safety is a concern to all, it is appropriate to set aside a time to alert all motorists to the number of motorcyclists on the roads and to help motorists become aware of the safety concerns of motorcyclists; and WHEREAS, In light of all these factors, it is important to heighten motorcycle awareness; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey: C.36:2-97 “Motorcycle Awareness Month,” May; designated. 1. The month of May is hereby designated as “Motorcycle Awareness Month” in the State of New Jersey. 2. This joint resolution shall take effect immediately. Approved August 6, 2007. |
