"KILL A BIKER, GO TO JAIL" petition, please read...

Topics: 2   Posts: 135
 

Please visit Save A Biker at:
www.SaveABiker.com

and sign this petition if you haven't already.  The link to this was sent to me by my good friend, IrishmanOhio (aka Jesse).  The petition is reprinted below.  Please read it.  If you agree, please go to this site and sign the petition: 


Your name and e-mail address will NEVER be given out for any reason other than this petition!

The ultimate goal for this petition is to STRENGTHEN the current punishments, not to create more laws!


 

To:  U.S.Congress

Each and every day, distracted and inattentive drivers pull out in front of, follow too close or simply "mow over" motorcycles. Bikers are being injured and killed because of carelessness. Most of the time, the drivers receive a warning, simple citation, slap on the wrist or less. 

If you pull a gun out and accidentally shoot someone, you most likely get tried for Involuntary Manslaughter. 

If you hit someone on a bike and kill him or her, you get a ticket. 

We would like for congress to pass legislation to strengthen punishments for drivers who kill. 

Some states have tried to take action but it's time the federal government gets involved. 

The statement "Kill a Biker, Go To Jail" is nothing new, but it must become a fact of life for drivers who carelessly murder bikers. 

Most bikers ride in fear, knowing that if they get run over, the penalty is great for them, but not the careless driver that did them in! 

If you support the right to live and ride, without the fear of some lowlife running you over and getting away with it, please sign this petition. 

Sincerely,

Been following this for over a year now, even have that bumper sticker on my 4X4. LAWS NEED to be changed nationwide with much stiffer penalty's for this type of thing.

Definitely nation wide on the Federal level! My cousin was killed by a 71 yr old drunk driver with 7 DUI's and got 'another' license suspension--that is all! Copied this all over the place!

Unfortunately, cyberly signed petitions don't count. They must be signed by hand. JaysonFL has a good idea: Get a hard copy and get hand written signatures!

On a similar note, not sure if any of you were aware of the Black Nail Brigade and the story of it's origin.

This is true Princess................

Have seen this slogan for years floating about and never made any sense to me though. Traffic accidents are all based on the circumstances and I have never seen any cases where a driver was judged on hitting a bike, pedestrian or car.
