Since the speed limit is 70, why not limit all vehicles to 70?

Just what we need, more people wanting and writing laws restricting freedom. We have enough of them in Washington right now.

Yeah, that's what we need... MORE LAWS! <rolls eyes>

I can tell just by looking at the picture that it was the bikes fault...

I'm waiting for the law to enforce some kind of seat belt on a motorcycle. LOL

Seriously though, there should be a mandatory course for new riders. I would also suggest a 400cc limit for new riders. My point is if you put a newly licensed 18 year old on a super fast crotch rocket he's gonna test out its ability. Don't ya think? The age/fatality statistics kind of prove it. I would also like to see a mandatory course for all vehicle drivers on motorcycle awareness. Half the time the blame is onthe idiot that never saw you coming.
