I am appalled at the number of motorcycle accidents resulting in death or injury. I propose prohibiting motorcycle riders from using the freeway, especially at night. As a driver, I often lose sight of a motorcycle rider on the side or in the back of my car. The speed limits encourage car drivers and motorcycle riders to speed at a reckless pace.

Please, I plead to car drivers to be aware of the motorcycle riders on the road. Motorcycle riders, please slow down, don’t drive recklessly. The life you save may be your own.
