A licensed motorcycle operator, JA, filed a case to declare the act as unconstitutional. JA emphasized that the act violated the equal protection act as it discriminates between motorcyclist and motorist.
To find: The reason for not raising the substantive due process clause and for raising the equal protection clause.
Explanation of Solution

The issue of equal protection clause is raised as there is a possible discrimination between motorcycle operators and motorists. It is because the law was applied to only a particular set of members. Therefore, the issue of equal protection was raised because both, the motorcyclists and motorists are considered to be on an equal platform.
