What you have to keep in mind, however, is that FL has the highest number of bikes per capita in the U.S.; combine that with our 12-month riding season, and you end up with a lot more motorcycle related injuries and deaths than you might see in other areas. So I'm sure the intent is to promote education and try to lower those bad statistics....

I do wonder if the fact that there's no state income tax in FL affects funding for this sort of thing (i.e. why some states have subsidised programs and FL does not? )
