| Subject: Idiot: Dumbass Collectivist NJ Politician Proposes License Plates For Bicycles Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:19 am | |
| If a proposed bill becomes law in New Jersey, bicyclists will have to pay to register bikes or face a fine.
The bill, introduced by Democratic New Jersey assemblywoman Cleopatra Tucker of Essex, requires owners to register bikes with the Motor Vehicle Commission for $10 dollars a piece or face fines up to $100. A license plate would be issued and will have to be displayed when riding on public roads. Plates would be valid for two years.
John Boyle with the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia is against the proposed bill.
“Her office has an issue with bicyclists on the sidewalks,” he said. “We are asking our New Jersey members and people in the state of New Jersey to contact their state assembly representatives and ask them to oppose this legislation,” Boyle said.
Boyle says the enforcement will be almost impossible. He believes it would also be a drain on police resources and a financial burden to some.
