The Utah Highway Safety Office has taken the message of motorcycle helmet use to elementary schools in the hope that the message will find its way back to parents that ride motorcycles. It appears that the plan was a success and the kids got the message to increase helmet use and be more vigilant for motorcycle riders. The Deseret News has a long article about the elementary school motorcycle helmet program.

I do not know the budget for this program and am not knocking the program but maybe money would be better spent in directly appealing to motorcycle riders. I have a bunch of pamphlets from Utah Highway Safety that talks about sharing the road and the importance of motorcycle education called "Hit the Book Before You Hit the Road." I am going to make these pamphlets available to every bike rider who will accept one this coming weekend at the Harley Davidson Muscular Dystrophy Ride in Wendover.
