H. RES. 614
Supporting the goals of a National Motorcycle Safety and Awareness
Month.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 30, 2004
Mrs. Musgrave submitted the following resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals of a National Motorcycle Safety and Awareness
Month.
Whereas the United States is the world leader in motorcycle safety, promoting
education, training, and motorcycle awareness;
Whereas motorcycles occupy a very important position in the history of this
Nation and of the world;
Whereas over two-thirds of car-motorcycle crashes and nearly one-half of all
motorcycle crashes are caused by car drivers, not by motorcyclists;
Whereas of the 1,400 fatal car-motorcycle crashes in 2001, 36 percent involved
another vehicle violating the motorcyclist's right-of-way by turning
left while the motorcycle was going straight, passing, or overtaking the
vehicle;
Whereas although the motorcycling community has made efforts to mitigate these
right-of-way crashes through enhancing motorcycle awareness via
billboards, posters, media, and other campaigns, the message to `watch
for motorcycles' continues to go unheeded by the general motoring
public;
Whereas the motorcycling community has invested considerable time and effort to
improve its safety record through safety initiatives such as increased
rider training and licensing campaigns, but many times demand for rider
training exceeds enrollment capacity and the programs often lack support
from the larger traffic safety community;
Whereas the larger traffic safety community, highway designers, law enforcement,
the medical community, designers of other vehicles, government,
researchers working in related areas, insurers, and all road users can
accomplish much more toward improving motorcycle safety;
Whereas the motorcycle is an efficient vehicle which conserves fuel, has little
impact on our overworked roads and highway system, is an important mode
of transportation involving such activities as commuting, touring, and
recreation, and promotes friendship by attracting riders from all over
the world through various clubs and organizations; and
Whereas due to the increased number of motorcycles on the road, it is
appropriate to promote motorcycle awareness and safety and to encourage
all individuals to safely share the roads and highways of this great
Nation by paying extra attention to those who ride motorcycles: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the goals of a
National Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month, and encourages all
people to support the efforts of the motorcycling community to improve
motorcycle safety.
