- Safety Division Motorcycle License Dilemma DoD Training and
Motorcycle Endorsement Required Hey Louisiana DMV, I am stationed
in California, bought a bike and need my endorsement. OK, Come home
and take the Louisiana course. I cant. Have to deploy in 4 weeks. I
already took the BRC. Too bad. For Louisiana you have to take OUR
course. If I cant get endorsement I wont be allowed to ride I guess
I better not tell my Sergeant I have a bike Riders Under the Radar

- Safety Division What Can Military Offer States? How Services
are like States: Hierarchy, Regulations Riding populations How
Services are NOT like States: Can change policy without legislation
and independent of public opinion Greater control of members
Greater ability to measure results Services can test concepts for
effectiveness Regional Concentrations can/should work with State
task forces Not every idea can work with general populace, but some
can! The Training doesnt impact crashes paradigm
- Slide 9
- Safety Division Military Riders While military riders may exist
in higher concentrations around bases, and motorcycle riders
represent a higher percentage of the military than the population
at large, military riders represent a statistically lower risk to
public safety than the population at large Services provide greater
oversight and accountability on member riders than exists in the
population at large Required initial rider training Required
periodic refresher training Command notification and Base
registration Opportunities for Advanced Training, Clubs and
Mentorship More severe penalties for infractions such as loss of
pay or rank, restriction, etc. which do not require same due
process Significantly lower incidence of DUI among motorcycle
riders Helmets required regardless of State law
