                                Nancy Skinner, Chair
                   HR 29 (Garrick) - As Introduced:  April 27, 2010
           
          SUBJECT  :   Motorcycle Awareness Month.

           SUMMARY  :   Designates the month of May 2010 as Motorcycle  
          Awareness Month.  Specifically,  this resolution  makes the  
          following legislative findings:

           1) Motorcycle riding is a popular form of transportation and  
             recreation for more than one million people and uses fewer  
             resources, has less wear and tear on public roadways, and  
             increases available parking areas. 

           2) The safety hazards created by automobile operators who have  
             not been educated to watch for motorcyclists are of prime  
             concern to motorcyclists; and, it is important that drivers  
             of all vehicles be aware of one another, learn to share the  
             road, and practice courtesy.  

           3) It is important to recognize the need for awareness on the  
             part of all drivers, especially with regard to sharing the  
             road with motorcycles, and to honor motorcyclists' many  
             contributions to the communities in which they live and ride.
