Bonneville America Forums Forums Rider Safety Forums Legislation Kill a biker, go to jail!

Once again, we're tilting at windmills here. My memory of details is totally gonzo, but I think the most flagrant travesties of justice were the Senator/Representative from South Dakota that cut the HD rider in half when he failed to stop at an intersection and was speeding, and another incident down south where a local legislator killed a rider and later there was a motion to name the same highway after said bozo. Both of these situations were publicized by the AMA. These are the accidents that raise our collective hackles....
Increasing the penalties for Joe Average who stops for a few on his way home from work and gets busted by the DUI patrol, thus taking away his job and ruining his life is not the answer.
