Explanation of Solution

The substantive due process clause is focused on the content of legislation and not on the fairness of the procedure. Therefore, it was not applied to the given case.

Therefore, the issue of equal protection was raised because both, the motorcyclists and motorists are considered to be on an equal platform.
