Thats not fair to assume that every teenager is reckless. I know plenty of 25 year olds that do things that most teenagers don't even think of. Maybe instead of just setting it to a higher age, let the teenagers get the license. Just like the car license, the testing needs to be alot more in depth. As it is right now, the air head that can't tell me what a yellow light means can get a driver's license. I think a large marjority of our issues would go away if you actually had to know how to drive to get a license.

I agree and I i disagree. I agree because if there is a seat belt ticket for cars, there should be a helmet ticket for bikes. At the same time, I don't agree with the forcing a person to be safe for themselves. If you don't wear the belt and you get hurt or die, thats you choice. Who are we to take that choice away?

I very much agree with this one. As long as the course isn't like the defensive driver course they have. This course should go hand in hand with the much more detailed and in depth test. It needs to teach what to do when you are in the rain. How to deal with traffic. How to deal with getting cut off. A decent amount of knowledge of how to handle and maneuver most situations. If everyone that had a driver's lisence was a better driver overall, alot of issues would go away, on both the careless car side and the careless bike side.

Again with the lack of choice on the helmet part. It doesn't effect anyone else, just that one person. The endorsement however, effects everyone out on the road. Thats a big issue. One to two years for careless driving, you know that rolling through a stop sign is classified as careless driving right? That just doesn't seem like the punishment suits the cause. But I think I get the point you are trying to make. You can't just get pulled over because the cop feels like it. you have to be breaking some law, and according to the law that you are breaking, that will dictate the level of punishment for not having the proper endorsements.

A tag and all other lights and gaurds and rice rocket mufflers. Don't get me wrong, I like a nice sounding bike, but I don't need to hear you 2 miles of high pitched, glass shattering interstate away. Same goes for the ground shaking, dishes clattering, rumble cruisers too.

Prove it was me, and I'll take the punishment, but if all you have is a plate number, then you've got nothing. If a buddy of mine takes my bike for a joy ride, flees and eludes, there is no reason why I am taking the hit. You can't prove it was me just because it was my bike just like you can't prove it was me just because it was my gun. Its a good idea to deter runners, but it needs the kinks worked out.

If the cars have to have insurance then the bikes do too. There is no reason why my POS that is worth 500 bucks has to have insuraunce and your 8,000 dollar bike doesn't. Simply having better drivers will, in turn cause the rates to go down by having less wrecks and other issues. That is going to be your main way to lower insurance. Make everyone better drivers and riders. The streets become safer to be on. the rates go down. its simple supply and demand.


And like all things, that would be nice, but who is going to pay for it? Tax payers. If we keep cutting taxes, we won't be able to afford any thing, let alone state funded commercials. You want less taxes, then don't look for state funded anything. You want the state to pay for more, then look forward to tax increases.


I didn't mean to cut down everything. I just wanted to point out where things need improvement. You're on the right track with something things, the kinks just need worked out now.
Have fun
