Louisiana Senate Bill 168 is going to committee tomorrow, Thursday, April 26, 2012. The bill, if passed, will increase penalties for those that violate right of way and place these penalties in all 14 Right of Way Violation laws. Individuals can voice their support of the bill by sending an email to the Senate transportation committee members and their local Senator and representative asking them to pass this important piece of legislation.
Charles Toth, Executive State Board President, ABATE of Louisiana, wrote an endorsement letter to his Senator as follows:
"As Executive State Board President of ABATE of Louisiana, Inc., I am acting on the
vote of my eight chapter presidents and their delegates throughout the state and 970
members to strongly endorse passage of SB 168. As motorcyclists, we climb on
our machines knowing the risks and dangers but we take those risks with the belief
and understanding most people operating motor vehicles abide by the traffic laws.
In the case of flagrant disregard for the laws we believe the punishment must fit the
transgression.
Of the collisions motorcyclists are involved in; approximately 40% are caused by the
individual on the motorcycle. The other 60% are caused by motorists violating the
motorcyclists right of way. The most common, about 2/3 of the 60%, is turning in
front of a motorcyclists path of travel, the other 1/3 are typically rear end collisions.
These percentages may vary a few percentage points on any given year but the
numbers above are my experience over the last 6 years on a national basis.
ABATE of Louisiana, Inc. extends its thank you for sponsoring this important piece of
legislation and stands ready to assist in any way to facilitate its passage."
Sample letter and email templates can be found on the ABATE of Louisiana website, as well as a link to a list of State Senators and Representatives. "The essential to budget travel is to prepare in front. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is generally in the back of our minds. Arranging and expending our travel budget properly is a concern for most families. Minimizing expending and prices, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding protecting money while touring is simple: Even if your personal finances is extremely tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, no matter whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel expenses!..".
