I will do what I can to support this group. I'm sick of hearing about one of us getting killed because other people are frickin stupid!!!!! As far as I'm concerned driving while distracted and DUI are no different.

You may have heard about a biker - Anita Zaffke - who was killed by a chick who was painting her nails while driving.
Her son started an organization called The Black Nail Brigade after learning his mom's killer was not likely to be charged with anything significant.
A few weeks later (Saturday, Memorial Day weekend), a husband and wife were killed as they rode with 5 other bikes. There were two cars stopped at a stop sign, waiting to let the bikers pass. A young woman came up behind them, and hit them without slowing - no word on what she was doing other than driving (although I heard a rumor she was texting). When she hit the two cars in front of her, she pushed them into the path of the bikes. All 6 bikes went down. Wade & Denise Thomas were killed.
We attended their wake, along with some other Black Nail Brigade Riders. Although I didn't know them, it was all very sad.
More important than attending wakes though, the Black Nail Brigade intends to attend court dates for drivers who kill bikers, and to keep in contact with prosecutors and politicians to fight for stricter penalties for those who kill bikers due to willful negligence while driving.
If you are in the Northern Illinois/Indiana, Southern Wisconsin region, I urge you to please get involved with this group and help however you can.

I wish this group the best. Like a previous post here - What difference does it make how the driver was impaired - drunk, texting, painting their nails, or what have you. You killed someone and there should be consequnces.

I do hope this takes off in a big way. I went on a "Do you see me know" ride a few months back, and I know down here in South Tx we are trying to put together more awarness type of events, but if that takes off and makes it way down here I would support it big time.
