It is a shame that we live in such litigious and oppressive times that I even have to say that! That said,...

Tue, 07/19/2011 - 19:23 — Bar

Fellow Riders,

My take on the Michigan Helmet Law

Sat, 04/30/2011 - 01:05 — thorsblood

The Michigan helmet law came about via a federal bribe in the mid 70’s which basically denied federal funds for roads unless Michigan, (and all 50 other states), enacted a helmet law. This was one of many Nanny laws that resulted through the formation of Ralph Nader’s vision within the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA. Nader’s point of view was that you could not count on educating motorists on traffic safety with dependable crash survival results.

DE House Bill 95 introduced to eradicate helmet carrying requirement

Fri, 04/15/2011 - 21:30 — jan

Delaware lawmakers have introduced House Bill 95 which would clarify 19 year olds and above are exempted from helmet law mandates. Under present law, all motorcyclists are required to carry a helmet with them. This is a rather strange requirement which has been occasionally misinterpreted by some law enforcement officials. That requirement would be removed if HB95 is enacted.
