Oh man! I'm so bummed. I just had to go through traffic school about 6
months ago to erase a ticket. If only this had been around, it would
have been so cool.

:-(

Timing is everything...

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA - June 1, 2005 - Beginning June 1, 2005, the San
Diego County Superior Court's list of approved traffic schools will now
include "Joy of Motorcycling Traffic School" - the first and only
traffic school in California dedicated to motorcycle safety and
awareness. "Our specialized curriculum offers both riders and non-riders
an opportunity to learn about and discuss traffic safety issues such as
'lane-splitting' and defensive techniques on how to reduce risk between
two- and four-wheeled vehicles,"
says owner, Joy Medved. No other traffic school covers motorcycle
awareness and traffic safety in the same depth and with the level of
expertise found at Joy of Motorcycling Traffic School.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
California has the highest motorcycle fatality rate with approximately
10% of all motorcycle deaths in the nation. 30% of those motorcycle
fatalities in California do not even have a valid motorcycle license.
Although Joy of Motorcycling Traffic School is not a riding school, the
8-hour Traffic Violator School classroom curriculum offers practical
insight on a number of motorcycle and traffic safety topics to help
reduce risk and crash potential between two- and four-wheeled vehicles.
Medved hopes that a motorcycle-oriented traffic school will help
decrease motorcycle fatalities and take California off the top of the
list.

The idea of a motorcycle traffic school was conceived by Medved during
her nine-month recovery from a hit-and-run motorcycle crash, April 1,
2000, when she was struck by a van making a left turn. After recovering
from broken bones, a major concussion, and a collapsed lung, Medved
dedicated herself to promoting motorcycle safety full time. Medved is a
riding instructor, teaches motorcycle safety seminars, has been a guest
speaker at a number of local motorcycle club meetings and rallies, and
also teaches women riders how to pick up their motorcycle using her
1,000 pound GL1800 Honda Goldwing.

Since Joy of Motorcycling Traffic School is DMV-licensed, motorists may
attend classes in San Diego regardless of where in California a citation
is received. Additionally, it is not required that the citation be
received while riding a motorcycle, or by a motorist with a motorcycle
license.
Motorists must be traffic school-eligible as determined by the court and
not have attended traffic school within the past 18 months. All classes
are taught by experienced motorcycle riders with backgrounds in rider
instruction and traffic safety.
