Posted on Dec 23, 2008

Motorcycles, helmets, cell phones and text messaging in the sight of Arkansas Legislature to limit cell phone usage while driving, ban text messaging and require motorcycle helmets

SB 28: Since 2001 legislator, Kim Hendren has filed a bill to prohibit drivers less than 18 years of age from driving while using a cell phone.

SB 29: Also filed is a bill to require motorcyclists to wear helmets or to have a minimum of $10,000 in health insurance coverage. The amount is woefully inadequate, but at least it’s a start.

HB 1013: also prefiled would prohibit use of handheld cell phones by all drivers and would ban text messaging while driving.

FAQs

ATV, Bike & Motorcycle Accidents

Is there anything I can do to settle my health problems after an accident? Hit by car on bike, no treatment, and no police. Now shoulder hurts any recourse? This is not a hit and run, he paid for the damage to my bike, and I agreed he could do it out of pocket because it was less than his deductible and I thought I was fine. That night he gave me a ride home and did admit he did not look my way. He also loaned me a wheel for my bike which I did not use. He paid me with a check for the damage. I have pictures of my bike and his truck (license plate yes but a bit fuzzy) from the night. I have his name, address, phone number, and place of employment, and receipts from my bike repair. I will feel bad about renegotiating our agreement but my health is at stake. Is there anything I can do?

How do I file a claim after being in an accident? My husband was a cyclist and was hit by a car. How do I start a claim against the person who hit him?
