The meeting that occurred in NH a month ago has gotten the attention of USA Today. That meeting was called to talk about the reason behind the increase in motorcycle accidents in New Hampshire. What did they come up with as a reason? The lack of motorcycle training.
This emergency meeting of New Hampshire’s motorcycle safely task force didn’t touch the hot-button helmet issue – helmets are required only until age 18 here – but did agree that more riders need training. Only one of the 27 motorcyclists killed last year had taken motorcycle training. The 27 deaths were three times the number killed in 2003, and 29 motorcyclists have already been killed this year.
