It means that you have decided to give organs or tissues after your death to people who urgently need a transplant. The title“organ donor” with a red heart will appear on your license.  \n• The urgent need for organ transplants grows daily with tens of thousands of people waiting nationally. Someone is added to the list every ten minutes, and approximately 18 people will die each day while waiting for an organ. Your choice to become an organ donor can make a life-saving difference for these critically ill people.  \n• The decision to donate is a personal one, but one which should be shared with your family. If you have questions, call the Alabama Organ Center at 1-800-252-3677.  \nCommon Myths about Donation  \nMyth: Becoming a donor will affect my medical care ifI am in an accident.  \nFact: If you are admitted to a hospital, the number one priority is to save your life.  \nMyth: Organ donation disfigures the body.  \nFact: Organs and tissues are removed in an operation performed by specially trained medical professionals. Your body is treated with respect and an open casket funeral is possible after donation.  \nMyth: If you agree to donate your family will be charged.  \nFact: There is no financial cost to the donor’s family or estate for organ or tissue donation. Funeral costs and the costs incurred in saving your life remain the responsibility of the family.  \nMyth: Having “organ donor” on your driver’s license or carrying a donor card is all you have to do to become a donor.  \nFact: While donation can legally occur with these documents, it is important to discuss your decision with your family to ensure they understand your wishes. All people who indicate their donation wishes on their driver’s license will have their name added to the Legacy Organ and Tissue Donor Registry.  \nFor more information or to add your name to the registry, call 1-800- 252-3677 or visit [www.alabamaorgancenter.org](www.alabamaorgancenter.org)  \nMake the choice now to help save lives later.  \nPREFACE  \nWelcome to the Seventeenth Edition of the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual (MOM) . Operating a motorcycle safely in traffic requires special skills and knowledge. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) has made this manual available to help novice motorcyclists reduce their risk of having a crash. The manual conveys essential safe riding information and has been designed for use in licensing programs. While designed for the novice, all motorcyclists can benefit from the information this manual contains.  \nThe original Motorcycle Operator Manual was developed by the National Public Services Research Institute (NPSRI) under contract to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and within the terms of a cooperative agreement between NHTSA and the MSF. The manual and related tests were used in a multi-year study of improved motorcycle operator licensing procedures, conducted by the California Department of Motor Vehicles under contract to NHTSA.  \nThe purpose of this manual is to educate riders and to help them avoid crashes while safely operating either a standard two-wheel motorcycle or a three-wheel motorcycle.  \nThis latest edition has undergone significant improvements, and contains new, more in-depth information, designed to:  \n• Guide riders in preparing to ride safely  \n• Develop effective street strategies  \n• Give riders more comprehensive understanding of safe group riding practices  \n• Describe in detail best practices for carrying passengers and cargo  \nIn promoting improved licensing programs, the MSF works closely with state licensing agencies. The Foundation has helped more than half the states in the n","cbCaidHWQ9wTDxff","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidHWQ9wTDxff","pdf",2739176,68,"English","# Preface\n## Purpose and improvements\n## Development background\n# Motorcycle Operator License Requirements\n## License required to drive\n## Definitions and classes\n## Age eligibility and restrictions\n## License validity and Class M rules","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual in this edition?\",\"answer\":\"It educates riders to help them avoid crashes by safely operating standard two-wheel motorcycles or three-wheel motorcycles.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Alabama law define a motorcycle and a motor-driven cycle?\",\"answer\":\"A motorcycle is defined as a motor vehicle with a seat or saddle designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground, excluding a tractor.
