(12-1-13) Take a few moments to slow down and enjoy being with friends and family. Take a well deserved rest and recharge those batteries. We have a lot of work to finish this legislative cycle in 2014 and I can’t think of a better group of people to role up my sleeves and help fight for the freedoms we deserve than the members and officers of ABATE of Ohio. Have a safe and happy holiday season....................( Read more....) |

(12-1-13) Up until this year, ABATE of Ohio and the AMA has supported legislation that increases the penalties for right of way infractions. Every congressional session a bill was introduced that we testified in support to increase the penalties for people found guilty of marked lane violations, assured clear distance violations, and right of way violations that resulted in serious injuries or death. The bill increased the amount of fine owed by the defendant. The bill also made these offenses non-waiverable, which means that the defendant was required to appear in court to face the charge. .........( Read more )

(12-1-13) The Ohio riding season is now just a day here and there, so these stats are not going to change much from now to the end of the year. These do show that we had less accidents and fatalities than last year, but still too many for us to let up on our vigilance. Remember, this year we had a late and very wet spring so bikes weren’t on the road so early. Next year we will hopefully have a nicer spring but we need to get these stats even lower. It takes work.
| 2013 - | Accidents: 2,300 | Fatalities: 118 |
| 2012 - | Accidents: 4,188 | Fatalities: 152 |
