This is a good thing
WHEREAS we all like to ride and,
WHEREAS none of us want scratches on our bikes and,
WHEREAS maybe it will make cagers more aware and,

Sheesh, try to be helpful and provide information...... :wink:

And oddly enough, I received some "evidence" in the mail today with a vehicle registration notification.... it was a little card "Drive Aware We're Out There" (Pub 524 (6-05)) with awareness information about motorcyclists. :lol: But I wonder how many people will actually take the time to read it.... :wink:

Maybe other states should adopt this program too, as some @$$H*LE from West Virigina about killed me by pulling out in front of me yesterday.

Funny thing (not funny that this happened to you) is West Virginia has billboards up year round that promote motorcycle awareness. They must have been PA peeps in a W Va car.
