Road To Zero

Road To Zero
A search of the forum resulted in zero references to the National Safety Council Road to Zero Coalition to have zero traffic deaths by 2050.
The MRF sent them a great response to the coalition for ignoring motorcycle group input entirely, and only including the stupid helmet solution which ignores all of the more important preventions.
It looks like the MRF only has about 220,000 members. The MRF seems to do a great job of being active on our freedom and safety issues, I wonder why they don't have a million members? We snooze we lose.

The gov does NOT want to include bikers in their law decisions (but they'll demo the 1 in a mil paralyzed person), nor add motorcycle respect training to auto driving, nor promote rider training or even proper gear to wear to ride safely, nor consider motorcycles in gasoline changes, or the pumps, or road sensors, or splitting lanes. All they want to push is helmet laws that's been proven to make little difference except to greatly reduce the sport.
Your use of stupid and foolish is a huge different subject, of which I've seen a huge change in the last few years where there a lot of riders that dangerously ignore driving laws like they're exempt. Too bad we can't say ride stupid wear all the gear, save the stunts for the track wear what you want.

It's kinda hard to demand respect from cage drivers when we ride like some riders do.
"Proper rider training? I did it for many years, and I still do it on a case by case basis. I have no clue how many new riders I trained. Lots of them, over the decades.
Well now you're all over the map. I don't know what "gasoline changes" are, so I can't comment. Road sensors are a problem though. Splitting lanes DOES serve a useful purpose, (as long as it's not done stupidly.)
Don't forget, the people that make the rules, don't ride. They know not what they do. This applies to more then just a helmet law, btw.
