Does anyone have ANYTHING about ABATE of PA from 1977-1980? I cannot find any record of what chapters were started during those years.

A new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) underscores a problem motorcyclists know all too well, distracted driving remains a serious threat on America’s roads, and riders often pay the price.

The IIHS study found that cellphone use before crashes is significantly underreported in police reports. Using data from nearly 17,000 crashes, researchers found drivers were using their cellphones within 30 seconds of impact in 7% of single-vehicle crashes and 8% of two-vehicle crashes. Police reports recorded cellphone use in less than 1% of those crashes.

The problem goes well beyond texting or making a phone call. Drivers were frequently tapping, swiping and otherwise manipulating their phones before crashes. IIHS also notes that looking away from the road for just two seconds doubles the risk of a crash or near-crash event. For motorcyclists, distracted driving can have devastating consequences. A driver who looks down at a phone, changes an app or simply fails to pay attention may never see a motorcycle until it is too late.

“Distracted driving isn't just a problem for the person behind the wheel. it is a threat to everyone sharing the road, especially motorcyclists,” said the Motorcycle Riders Foundation President Kirk “Hardtail” Willard. “This study reinforces what riders have been saying for years: drivers need to put the phone down, keep their eyes on the road and focus on driving.”
