This law has the potential to open the flood gates for anti 
motorcycling laws in all states.
I sent and email to the AMA to make sure that they were aware of it 
and here is the body of the reply.

If this law doesn't make you angry or give you the willies it should.
If you live in Florida you should contact you representatives and 
senators. Tell them how much you feel that this is a discriminating 
law singling out motorcyclists.
Not to mention that is should be unconstitutional.
