About Us
Our Mission
The National Motorists Association (NMA) was founded in 1982 to represent and protect the interests of North American motorists. We began by combating the 55-mph National Maximum Speed Limit and we continue to support efforts to retain motorists' freedoms and rights. We work for more reasonable speed limits and fight for better driver training, fair enforcement practices and important privacy protections. The NMA believes in freedom and responsibility to make choices, not in "one size fits all" legislation, ticket cameras, unfair driving taxes, revenue-motivated traffic courts and speed traps. The NMA supports traffic laws based on sound engineering principles and public consensus - not political agendas.
The NMA is a grassroots organization supported by membership dues and donations contributed by people just like you. We are motorists joining together to protect our common interests. Beyond influencing national policy, the NMA supports change from the ground up by providing resources to help individuals challenge unjust laws and tickets.
If you share our vision for preserving automotive freedoms then please consider helping the NMA by joining our organization - and learn how the NMA can help you with our many member benefits.
