A STEP TOWARD HUMAN
Thanks to the long hard work of New York motorcyclists who are supporters ofABATE November 1st 2006 brought legislation to stiffen penalties for drivers who fail to yield the right of way to motorcyclists and cause them injury. The increased penalty is most welcome, albeit still quite light considering the damage these people do--and it doesn't force the prejudiced cop to deliver the ticket, which is another sad problem. But even drunk driving laws started small, and I hope this is the beginning step toward more appropriate action against those who view bikers as less than human and carelessly use their vehicles as weapons to murder and maim on the roadways.
