Motorcycle bill sparks debate in the Virginia Senate
February 24, 2009 by Hersey · 2 Comments
A bill passed by the state senate Tuesday lessens the penalty for motorcyclists who ride in the same lane.
It drops the penalty from reckless driving to a civil penalty. The debate was intense before a 20-19 vote in favor of the change.
“If there has ever been a case of reckless driving, it’s two motorcycle operators going down the road side by side talking to each other. It is reckless driving for a purpose,” said Sen. Ken Stolle.

MRF ASKS FOR SUPPORT OF RAY LAHOOD
The Motorcycle Riders Foundation would like to encourage its members, the motorcycling community and all concerned Americans to join us in support of Ray LaHood, the designated nominee for Secretary of Transportation. We ask that you join us in our efforts of supporting this nomination by calling your own United States Senator and ask them to vote YES to confirm the nomination of Mr. LaHood.
Ray LaHood served in the Congress from 1995 until 2008 as the representative from the 18th District of Illinois. His record on motorcycle issues during his tenure was outstanding. ABATE of Illinois considered him to be one of their best friends and allies in Congress. He has even been named a MRF Champion of Motorcycle Rights & Safety in the past.
