Anaheim, Cal., Feb . 14,- P redictions
of Increased motor cycle driver training
and other safety fa ctors wer e heard here
today as member s of the motorcycle
Industry trade associa tion completed
their annual meeti ng.
Industry o ffi c i a l s said that mor e
Americans will be turning toward twowheeled transportation thls year.
•
The Motorcycle, Scooter & Allled
Trades Association heard reports fr om
Its committee s and the new National
Highway safety Bureau on federal and
s tate pr ogr am s designed to Improve conditi ons fer cycle r ider s , now numbering
In the mUlions . Registrati on of motor cycles has pas s ed the 2.2 mUllon mark
with Cal ifor nia far and away the leading
s tate . Dramatic increases in the use of
cycles on public roads has made them a
factor in traffic safety prog rams for the
fir st time In r ecent years .
The MS&ATA' s Safety Advisor y Committee, composed of som e of the nation's
top traffi c safety exper ts , Issued an
appeal to the states for uniformity of
driver licensing procedures and safety
equipment for motorcycles. The trade
association has iss u e d a " pos ition
paper" urging all slates to Immediately
adopt a separate license for two-wheelers, with an appropriate lic ense tes ting
system . The Industry group proposed
adoption of a license-testing method devel oped by the American Ass oclation of
Motor Vehicle Admlnls trator s . Many
s tates started out 1968 with such a
r egulation for the fir st time.
Other safet y measures advocated by
the MS&ATA include periodic vehicle
Inspections, legislation which would pr ohibit modlflcation of original equipment
exhaus t sys tem s , li mitation of the use of
highways and turnpikes to motorcycles
and scoo ters capable of attai ning a speed
of 60 mUes -p er - hour , and es tabli shment
of one minimum age r equirement for
both motor cycles and automobil es.
On the subject of the 1968 sales pictur e , most of the Indus try sees the
oppor tunity for continued grow th. The
general consens us of company official s
Is that driver education for motor cycles
on a national s cale and an Improved
economic situation could make the Indus try outlook even brighter .
