Tallahassee, FL, January 11, 2012 – Senator Greg Evers has filed FL Senate Bill 1754 “Traffic Offenses”, on behalf of ABATE of Florida, Inc.  This Bill is designed to require penalties more severe than the $166 some drivers have faced after hitting and killing motorcyclists.  The text of the Bill as submitted in original form reads:

“Traffic Offenses; Providing criminal penalties for a person who commits a moving violation that causes serious bodily injury to, or causes or contributes to the death of, a pedestrian or a person operating or riding in a motor vehicle or operating or riding on a motorcycle or bicycle; requiring that the person pay a specified fine, serve a minimum period of incarceration, and attend a driver improvement course; requiring that the court revoke the person’s driver license for a minimum specified period; providing that the act does not prohibit the person from being charged with, convicted of, or punished for any other violation of law, etc.”

ABATE of Florida is asking concerned citizens and motorcyclists to contact their local Senators and ask they support Senate Bill 1754.  Remind them we will be holding our Freedom Rights Rally February 13, 2012 at Florida’s Capitoll Building and to contact any ABATE of Florida, Inc. member should they have any questions.
