Can some one point me to where i could get a list of US States that do not have mandatory helmet laws? I know in Ct.
"The Consttitution State" and Hew Hampshire "Live free or Die" You still have a choise.
Due to some developements in my place of employment (company bought out by one of the big boys). My job may go the way of the dinosaurs shortly. Wife and I decided if that happens we are going to sell and move.
Also Canadian laws..because if "Madam Hillary" gets elected I'm leaveing the country.

I noticed there are only 4 states without any helmet laws at all. Iowa, Illinois, Colorado and New Hampshire. I like the fact that some states only have helmet laws for minors which I think is a good thing. IMHO, people should decide if they want to wear a helmet. I don't like laws that protect people from themselves.

It's too bad there are a bunch of people who ruin it for the rest of us! Speed limits, seat belt laws, etc, would all be needless if people didn't F themselves up and then blame it on no rules! Like the lady who burned herself on hot coffee in the car. Now EVERY coffee container says "caution, hot". No kidding!

Any law designed to protect me from myself SUCKS.

I agree with you, but watch out. On another motorcycle forum I mentioned that I thought that helmet laws sucked. I thought they were going to ban me from the site. I had never been called a idiot in so many different ways!

Your link for helmet laws is in error ofr Florida. Here is another link for current motorcycle helmet laws.

I also heard that Florida will be issuing a different color license plate for all riders 21 years old and younger. Thus making it easier for the police to identify helmet law violations and write more tickets.

Once you realize that you belong to the government and they are just trying to care for you it all makes sense. We are all too stupid to make decisions for ourselves and need smarter people to make them for us. Smoking, seatbelts and helmets are issues that we are simply not capable of dealing with.
