There is proposed legislation directed at motorcycle riders.
Discriminatory Legislation to be Heard in Committee

Attention Florida Motorcyclists

House Bill 137, legislation that singles out motorcycle operators for discriminatory treatment for alleged traffic violations, will be heard in the House Committee on Infrastructure on January 10, 2008.
See the latest Action Alert in the Florida StateWatch section of theAMA Rapid Response Center or click here for direct access to the Action Alert.
It's important to make your voice heard before this discriminatory legislation gains support in the Florida House of Representatives.

HB 137, "Offenses Committed While Operating a Motorcycle", introduced by Representative Carlos Lopez-Cantera (R-Miami), proposes that any motorcyclist charged with reckless operation or riding 30 miles per hour or greater above the posted speed limit would face arrest, seizure and forfeiture of their motorcycle, and revocation of their motorcycle endorsement for ten years. The legislation applies ONLY to motorcycles and their operators; no other motorized vehicle or driver operating on a public roadway is threatened with these penalties.

everytime I read this "Proposed New Law" posted on every site in the world lately I just don't get it. All the info is flawed and makes no sense.
Get caught going 30 over the limit driving ANYTHING and your ass is grass if the Officer want's it, boat, car, specially a truck if you got a CDL.............what's the big deal?

Up to a certain point your right. You will get arrested if you go over 30 MPH and the cop wants to arrest you. But you do not get your car taken away from your, nor do you loose your license for 10 years. I don't wan't them to take my bike away ( Unless they pay retail price for it ).

This info isn't flawed check this site it's official: HB 137 - Offenses Committed While Operating a Motorcycle
