A personal view

• Man's laws are not God's laws
• If you break the law, be ready to accept the consequences
• Laws are society's tool to get a balance between freedoms and responsibilities by regulating behavior
• Laws are arbitary. A crime here may be legal in the next state
• What's legal today could be a crime tomorrow
• Law enforcement is patchy and never approaches 100%
• People make mistakes
• Verdicts are influenced by more than just the facts; that's what lawyers get paid for
• Speed limits are arbitary. The risk associated with a given speed varies with the weather, the traffic, the driver, the time of day, the state of the road and other factors
• Driving below the limit in one situation can be more dangerous than going twice the limit in another
• Bikers are very aware of how vunerable they are. Hitting a rabbit leaned over on a bike can be more dangerous than hitting a semi trailer in a SUV
• Very few bikers are suicidal or looking to spend months in hospital
• Speeding bikes are rarely anything like as dangerous as people say
  
• Don't bother saying any of this to the judge!

Mark Charlwood

If you believe that all the law applying to you as a biker

• is 100% fair
• is enforced the same for everybody
• is handled without mistakes
• is applied the same every time
• can never be challenged
• should be obeyed absolutely at all times

THEN YOU DONT NEED THIS!

If you accept that we don't live in a perfect world and that you are as entitled to protect your own interests as much as the next person, it might just help:

• Avoid getting a ticket even if you don't always stay within the limit
  
  
• You need the right equipment and the right techniques. Either one on its own won't work
  
  
• If you do get stuck with a ticket, get out of it the same way as an off duty cop
  
  
• Know what to say, know what to do. Don't trust information from out of State or another country - the law and procedures vary
  
  
• Threatened with a heavyweight court action?
  
  
• Suffered a major loss of health, earnings or assets?
  
  
• You need a lawyer! Don't pick one out of Yellow Pages... get a specialist and WIN
