HB939 – This bill was introduced by Delegate Wilt by request of VCOM It would allow motorcyclists to utilize LED type auxiliary lights to increase visibility of motorcycles, especially at night. Auxiliary side lighting lessens the chance of a collision caused by an automobile or truck changing lanes into a motorcycle. The problem is that most of this type of lighting is not approved by DOT, ANSI or SAE and is therefore illegal under Virginia law. This bill would allow certain unapproved lighting on motorcycles as a safety device This bill has faced heavy opposition from the Virginia State Police who insist that all motor vehicle lighting be approved by one of the aforementioned organizations. Despite such opposition, VCOM has, with the assistance of motorcyclists who rallied to email their legislators, worked this bill through committee and onto the House floor where it passed on a vote of 100-0. VCOM will continue to work on this bill in the Senate where it will once again face opposition from the Virginia State Police. You may follow the progress of this bill and read the text at the following link: House Bill 939 |
