It's the law in NJ too, but I think that you'd have to be a moron not to wear a full-face!

 

Why do they even debate this issue??? I would not even think twice. Put the helmet on. Think of your family while putting it on.

 

I'm with you JENNAY...it's one of the simplest things you can do to help save your life in the event of an accident. I don't have a lot of respect for people that don't wear them, do they think they're invincible and nothing bad will ever happen to them?! IGNORANT ASSES. They get what they deserve.
Who wants bugs smashed inyour face and hair anyway...haha...just kidding.
Full face helmet always!

 

in belgium it's te law , so i always ware one , it's neccessary , i drive on the raod and the circuit and a few times , iwas glad to ware it

 

MY HUSBAND MAKES ME WEAR HIS HELMET BUT I PERSONALLY HATE IT I LIKE TO LET MY HAIR GO FREE

 

In Maryland it's a state law to always wear a helmet but it doesn't matter if it's full face, three quarter, or half helmet. I bought a full face and love it, not only does it protect me so much better than the other options, it also eliminates almost all of the wind noise and of course is a life saver (no pun intended) in rain... I'd rather wearit and be safe than not and be sorry

 

Personally, I wear a full faced helmet always. The helmet has saved my life on at least two occassions over the years. I would wear one law or not. IL does not have a law except for children under 15. I think that is the age, could be wrong. I also replace them every three years.

One thing I do not care for is the helmet "law" in general. I do not care for the government telling me how to live my life. I can be responsible without government intervention. This opinion also applies to seat belt laws, smoking laws and so on... Next thing you know the GOV will be telling me when to eat, sleep and go to the bathroom.

 

Sorry, didn't notice I was posting in the ladies room.

 

PA used to have a helmet law, but it has been amended a few years back. If I remember correctly (can't find the actual statute), you have to be over the age of 18 and had the motorcycle license for 2 years. I believe it's illegal to operate a motorcycle without at least the permit (with which you can't ride at night and can't carry passengers). The funny thing...is that we do have a seatbelt law.

My MSF instructor said that there is only 1 reason to not wear a helmet. Freedom of choice. My friend doesn't wear a helmet. I think he is an idiot. Then again, he's a Harley rider and thinks that having big loud pipes is used to make sure people know you are there. He also states that helmets cause you to break your neck in the accident. Well, I'm a computer programmer...so maybe I take my mind a little more seriously than others.

I concur on Acara's thought about the government. I think laws that are used to protect others from our own indescretions are a necessary evil but I don't think the goverment should try to prevent you from removing yourself from the gene pool.

 

i love how its a law to wear a seat belt in florida but no a helmet it makes no god damn sense look ne body who doesnt wear a helmet i think is stupid wheather ur going 1 mile or 100 miles u ride with out a helmet ur dumb *** ****. its just like unprotected sex do u want to take that chance of cathing aids or stds or whatever. so if u dont wear a helmet just hae unprotected sex with neone because in both situations nething can happen good or bad
