Motorcycle Red Light Bill Update
Attention Carolina Bikers SC Senate Bill 111 has passed the Senate and now resides in the House. As you are aware the session is drawing to a close and we need prompt action on this bill to assure passage. If you are sitting on the fence watch the video and do it for Bubba.
S111 will address faulty traffic signal devices that fail to detect motorcycles. This bill will clearly increase safety for motorcyclists by reducing the chance of being struck from behind while stranded at a malfunctioning light.
Please contact your representative in the South Carolina House and request assistance with moving S111 "red light bill" through committe to a vote on the house floor.
After you have contacted your representative please contact the House Judiciary Committee respectfully urging quick passage of S111.
