III. a. With advancements in the motorcycle industry making motorcycles safer, motorcyclists are exposed to accidents to a lesser degree. Furthermore, even when they are involved in an accident, people who ride motorcycles containing the latest technology are less likely to experience the damage they would normally undergo. The Honda Gold Wing 2006 model is one of the best examples of technological advancements put in motorcycles, given that its airbag system is extremely important in protecting motorcyclists who experience a head-on collision (world.honda.com). Motorcycling can be a fun activity if one performs it only consequent to getting riding lessons from a professional rider and only after the respective person acknowledges that he or she can never be completely in charge of the bike, with their only chance to avoid an accident being to employ all of their teachings in riding.
b. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration promotes motorcycle safety through informing the general public (all kinds of motorists and even pedestrians) regarding motorcyclists and how they should not be discriminated. Through the NHTSA motorcycling program, authorities expect traffic accidents involving motorcyclists to be reduced (saferoads.org).
c. People have a tendency to categorize women as "bad drivers," generally considering gender to be important when concerning riding a motorcycle. This is however wrong, as accidents mainly happen as a result of the fact that riders are inexperienced, not because of their gender (whybike.com).

About, 1,000 more officers comprising of 7% of all loss of lives were hit and met death by passing motor vehicles while they were not in their
There are also times when the design and the weight of a helmet can inadvertently snap a rider's neck, and since the helmet is very much like an airbag, there are people who feel that the choice of either wearing a helmet or not wearing one must be left to the rider, and not to the government. Since it is a fact that "we ride, let us decide," said

During the 1960's and 1970's, violent contact with the police, resulting in force occurred during anti-war, labor and civil rights demonstrations, during a politically tumultuous time.
