The Motorcycle Manufacturers Directory is sponsored by Ray Henke. Ray is the Founder of M-A-D-D, "Motorcyclists Against Dumb Drivers." For dual sport riders and dirt bike rides who also ride on the streets, consider M-A-D-D your advocate in our effort to make street riding safer. The premise for M-A-D-D is that the dangers we face riding on the streets is due principally to "auto driver ignorance" of motorcycle safety issues, hence the name "Motorcyclists Against Dumb Drivers." Examples of auto driver "dumbness" include ignorance that their car rear view mirrors have holes in them large enough to obscure a motorcycle passing in an adjoining lane and ignorance that bikes stop more quickly than cars. M-A-D-D also disputes the conventional "wisdom" that the risks we face on the streets are the inescapable product of the inherant "lack of visibility" of motorcycles. The problem is not the size of the motorcycle; rather it is that ignorant auto drivers fail to recognize that by virtue of the vulnurability of motorcyclists, as car drivers they have an enhanced responsibility to turn their heads, open their eyes, and look for motoryclists before crossing or turning into their right of way. It is M-A-D-D's position that the way to cure auto driver ignorance is by education, and that means specifically: requiring that state auto driver license test booklets be changed to provide an extensive education on motorcycle safety issues; furthermore, that the written tests that auto drivers must pass to obtain or renew an auto drivers license contain an extensive list of motorycle safety questions; and finally, that auto drivers be denied driver's licenses unless they answer all motorcycle safety questions correctly. Please join M-A-D-D in its efforts by e-mailing your Governor. Contact M-A-D-D for the e-mail address of your Governor and a sample form letter for you adapt to state your position.
