Lane Filtering Passes The Senate

Today,  the Senate voted 38-2 to pass our Bill. It will now go to the House on Crossover Day, February 18th. Please contact your Delegate and get them to support the Bill. Since the Hurt Report in 1981 encouraged the idea Lane Filtering as a safety measure all studies have confirmed the validity of this process. For more information contact me, tom@vcomonline.org

Lane Filtering is out of Committee

By a 12-3 vote, the Senate Committee on Transportation approved our Bill. Special thanks to Senator Lamont Bagby for his patronage. Now,the real work begins, there are 40 Senators.  The Bill will come up for a full vote in the Senate in the next week or so. I will keep you informed.  FYI it was real important that I had another motorcyclist with me who also spoke; thank you, Dave Saleeby.

Please contact your State Senator and encourage their support. We are a small minority so we need everyone working.
