DAVID STILWELL -

I found this info on the aformentioned website, and while I have no further Comment, I think these folks have surpassed B.O.L.T. as they have formulated a strategy, and are crafting a plan.

Stop Motorcycle Only Checkpoints in Georgia

The NHTSA recently announced a grant program to supposedly address Motorcycle

Safety issues. The recipient of the money for the demo project was the Georgia

Department of Public Safety. The Georgia State Patrol is conducting a series of roadside

motorcycle safety checks in accordance with what was outlined in the Request for

Applications. The amount of NHTSA funding is $70,000.00. The motorcycle check

points do not address nor decrease motorcycle accidents and instead “profiles”

motorcyclists and discriminates against citizens based on their mode on transportation

and clothing.

Motorcycle Safety is an important and growing issue in Georgia. Over the past several

months Georgia has lost several motorcyclists to inattentive and distracted drivers. The

Motorcycle Only Check Points do not address the issues that are killing our

motorcyclists. A strong research based motorcycle safety awareness program is needed to

ensure our safety and reduce crashes not police check points that target the victims of

crashes.

Members of the US Congress recently urged US Transportation Secretary LaHood to

suspend the grant program and to concentrate on crash causation and education programs.

We are asking for your help in suspending the demo program in Georgia.
