Watching the SuperBike races (TiVo rocks!) there was a commercial for 1-800-Motorcycle, the law offices of Kass and Moses. Lawyers that specialize in Motorcycle issues. Fine. Great. Yippee. But at the end of the commercial the guy said "Even if you don't have a motorcycle license or insurance, we can still help you!"

See, that to me is just more of the lack of personal responsibility that's plaguing the modern world.

Hey, it's ok... you don't need a license (and by extension, you don't need to know what the hell you're doing). Go out and ride, get in all the trouble you want... we'll still help you!

How about this...? How about "Sorry, no license, no help. You shouldn't have been riding, dipwad!"

(sigh)

So if you don't have a license and a drunk turns left in front of you you shouldn't be allowed to get a lawyer?   Shrug

You don't really make a good point from what I can grok.

Or are you blaming lawyers for people having accidents?   Headscratch

If you don't have a license you shouldn't be on the road.

I'm not sure I can empathize with the "victim" in this case.

Not to mention that if you dont have said license as far as i am concerned then you are more than partly at fault cause you should not even be operating the motor vehicle.

There is a TV ad here in the Seattle area for a MC lawyer and it "features" a guy (who is supposedly the lawyer) riding a wheelie on the freeway as he talks about his services. I think he also mentions he represents unlicensed and uninsured riders. At the end he does a stoppie, flips off his unfastened helmet and states he'll ride the insurance company hard for you!

It's not really about empathy.  If you cross the street outside the crosswalk, no one has the right to run you down because of it.

Headscratch I've never seen this one.  But then again I watch very little of the 4 major networks on TV...most of it is Tivo (with commercials skipped) or DVDs.

I dunno, someone caught riding without a license or insurance probably desperately needs a lawyer.  Rolleyes

Its not the lawyer's job to enforce traffic laws. He/she has a commercial enterprise and can represent who ever he or she wants to. If you are upset about someone riding without license or insurance (not required for motos in all states) then take that up with law enforcement or your legislature.

It's funny that you think that they shouldn't be able to get a lawyer if they are not licensed but think about how many bad drivers/riders there are who have licenses.

If Jeff Gordon or Nicky Hayden didn't have a driver's license, should he still be allowed to drive?

I think Mike Goodwin's post (above) reflected my frustration pretty well.
