MRF Report
Universal Helmet Law
Letters have been sent by powerful Senators on the behalf of MRF requesting that they reconsider their recommendations and work with the motorcycling community to develop a set of recommendations that is achievable and enhances the existing education, awareness and safety initiatives of the states.
They are now waiting for a response.
To learn more about all of this take home the MRF Reports and check it out for your selves.
Iowa's Governor does not foresee such a proposal becoming a priority for their administration. Even though they are one of the states that the first recommendations were sent to.
This is a good thing for Iowa but we need to stay vigilant here also. We cannot let our guard down.
I have been in contact with Rick Miera and he is now up to date on what the NTSB is trying to do.
