Re: [ST] Wrap-up of Roethlis-what-his-name?/Helmet Laws



Just a couple of points:
    First, just take a look at the "helmet" just how much protection does it afford. Most of these riders only buy the helmet that meets the MINIMUM requirements of the law.
  As a MSF instructor for more than 25 yeats almost all instructors I've talked to are anti helmet law. We've rather you wear a helmet through education than legislation...you'll buy a better helmet
 Many of the helmets depicted in the photo do not even mee DOT standards. They are purchased at swap meets or other events from a "vendor" and then there on the table is a stack of "dot" scickers that they can put on the back of their helmet (the vendor can't put them on..that's illegal)

But then again it's still common practice and people won't listen...Just 
came back from a road trip to Michigan - this picture was taken in Iowa. 
Notice the helmet - nicely stowed away on the back, just in case he has to 
cross a state where there is a helmet law. This law is full of mixed 
messages - either we have one or we don't - what stupidity.
