Founded in 1982, the National Motorists Association advocates, represents, and protects the interests of North American motorists.
We are the organization that promoted federal legislation which eliminated the 55 mph National Maximum Speed Limit in 1995.
NMA Objectives:
- To guarantee the retention of your
individual rights when using public streets, roads, and highways.
- To support traffic laws based on sound
engineering criteria and public consensus.
- To protect your right to own and use
the kinds of vehicles you prefer.
- To support improved driver training
and education.
- To oppose speed traps and other traffic
enforcement measures carried out for revenue-generation purposes.
- To promote driver-to-driver courtesy and cooperation.
If You Drive, We Represent You!
Whether you're an auto driver, enthusiast,
collector, motorcyclist, commercial driver, highway user, or taxpayer,
we are committed to representing your interests as a motorist. At every
opportunity, we lobby, debate, and editorialize on your behalf. NMA members
have appeared in front of governmental bodies, on local and national radio
and TV shows, and our views have been printed in many newspapers such
as the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and the Washington Times.
We support more reasonable speed limits, better driver training, improved
motorist-to-motorist courtesy, and sensible, easily understood regulations.
We oppose heavy-handed enforcement, unfair motorist taxation, speed traps,
kangaroo traffic courts, and government edicts that take away your rights
as a consumer and user of automobiles. We're working for the establishment
of traffic laws based on engineering principles and public consensus.
While the speed limit repeal garnered the most attention, our work at
the state and local level is equally important. Here are a few examples:
- With many roads in this country having
underposted speed limits, we continue to support efforts to establish
reasonable, engineering-based speed limits.
- We're working toward a ban on the use
of photo enforcement in all states and provinces and have succeeded
in preventing its use in many areas.
- From the eastern seaboard to California,
the NMA is working against any measure or regulation that is deliberately
designed to inconvenience and hinder the legitimate travel of responsible
motorists.
- We oppose the expansion of tolls to
roads built and maintained with motorists' taxes and the NMA supports
the elimination of tolls when financing obligations have been satisfied.
.
- We were one of the first organizations
to speak out against overzealous emissions requirements, "clunker"
bills, and burdensome inspection programs.
- We're promoting the expansion of driver training and education programs that emphasize skill development and sound driving practices.
From Where Does NMA Receive Its Funding?
From You! The National Motorists Association
is funded through membership dues contributed by individuals, families,
and small businesses.
People like you who are informed and concerned about driving and automotive
issues need to be heard. Either we join together and fight for our rights
or we endure outrageous taxation and suffocating regulation. And, more
importantly, we need to protect the tremendous individual mobility that
most Americans take for granted.
We need you. If driving and automobiles are important to you, you need
the National Motorists Association.
