I doubt we will get harrased much, to be honest, i see bikes get away with more shit then cars. My friends with bikes honestly dont think they have ever been pulled while on a bike. But then again, like when the guy died running from the cops, people wanted to blame the cops /sigh. We all just need to be accountable for what we do and grow up; we need to realize that the few minutes of fun at hair raising speeds just isn't worth losing your life. I am all for cops being a little stricter on bikes, but i think they should be stricter on cars, do it as a whole. Look at the shit people get away with on the daily, reading a book while driving, doing their make up, bikes going in between cars on the dotted lines, doing 100mph in the HOV, in general VA drivers need to get better behind the wheel, restrict all persons license til they are at least 18, etc.

The only thing that will bring down the deaths are people that no longer seek a massive adrenaline rush on bikes, knowing your limits and paying attention to traffic conditions much more closely.
