In Richardson, More Motorcycles, More Traffic Fatalities 

Got this from the Suds & Butterfly newsletter. Worth reading and thinking about.

In Richardson, More Motorcycles, More Traffic Fatalities

Police say one big reason for the surge is that there are more motorcycles on the road these days. ... But inexperienced motorcycles don't bear all of the blame. ...

NOTE FROM SUDS -
Just an FYI, these articles seem to be popping up all around this great state of ours. Funny how all of these guys get an idea at the same time to write articles about how motorcycling is going to cause insurance rates to go up. Methinks something's rotten in Texas with the media being used as a propaganda tool to get the non riding public to side with the move insurance companies seem intent on making. This is getting to be one expensive chess game. Thanks to Jerzey Bill for sharing this. Jerzey Bill is part of the Coalition Of Independent Riders (COIR) Division of Texas Defenders.
We need more of y'all soon...Respect,

NOTE FROM JERZEY BILL -
This article was in the Dallas Morning News yesterday concerning an increase in accidents, and relating it to the increase in Motorcycle's on the road. They also bring up things like helmets.
They mention that most of the motorcycle accidents were from cars pulling into the Motorcycle, "that they did not see". Of course, they did not discuss if the driver was distracted by something like a cell phone.

Too bad they did not get into the Share The Road program or motorcycle awareness.
I am writing up the letter to the editor suggesting that they investigate how much of the increase in accidents was caused by people on their cell phones.
