A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO PROCLAIM MAY 2015 AS "MOTORCYCLE SAFETY AWARENESS MONTH" THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND TO ENCOURAGE ALL SOUTH CAROLINIANS TO BE AWARE OF MOTORCYCLISTS WHO SHARE OUR ROADS AND HIGHWAYS AND TO WORK TOGETHER TO REDUCE MOTORCYCLE-RELATED CRASHES, INJURIES, AND FATALITIES.

Whereas, interest in motorcycle riding as a popular form of recreation and transportation continues to increase; and

Whereas, the safe operation of a motorcycle requires specialized training, the use of good judgment, and knowledge of traffic laws; and

Whereas, the annual observance of Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month calls attention to the importance of actively promoting safe motorcycle operation, increased rider training, improved licensing efforts, and greater motorist awareness; and

Whereas, by working together to increase knowledge of the special needs of all road and highway users while encouraging them to exercise added caution, we can make our roads safer and ensure that motorcyclists in the Palmetto State have an enjoyable riding season. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, proclaim May 2015 as "Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month" throughout the State and encourage all South Carolinians to be aware of motorcyclists who share our roads and highways and to work together to reduce motorcycle-related crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
