Motorcycle helmet laws...good or bad? Do you wear or not?

I think there great I wear mine all the time. Especially after I watched them scrap my Friends brain off the highway with a shovel.

First off I call riders with no helmets organ donors. Insurance should require them to wear helmets or risk not being covered in an accident.

I ride a Harley and wear a full face helmet because there are two types of riders: those who have been down and those that will go down.

I ride a harley and wear a full face helmet every time I get on and take a ride you never know when you might go down in a curve do to loose gravel on the road or have someone pull out in front of you ,and I don't feel insurance company's should cover you if you don't wear the safety equipment needed to ride

I do not support mandatory helmet laws for adults. Children, teems, yes. Adults should be able to decide for themselves. Same thing with seatbelts. And yes, I do wear a helmet when I ride and my seatbelt when I drive - by choice.

I used to live in one of those few states that allows adults to ride with no helmet. I did it a few times, just to remind myself of how it feels, and mostly it felt uncomfortable. Kind of like driving in a car with no seat belts... I guess I've been around long enough to be comfortable wearing all the proper safety equipment, and I don't need to prove how macho I am by riding without it.

Pat B. Why shouldn't their insurance rates increase if they choose not to wear a helmet? It can be proven that helmets lessen the likelihood of severe head injury, so if they choose to take that chance why shouldn't they pay to cover the extra risk? Pretty much the same idea that smoker's cost more to provide health insurance to due to the extra problems that smoking causes.

Not wearing a helmet is stupid. Ive seen what happens to someone not wearing a helmet and its def not pretty.

Truthfully I don't wear one everytime I ride. Maybe 80% of the time...yes...the other 20%...no. I have all three types though...full, 3/4, and half helmet. Your question implies you'd like to see insurance higher for people that don't wear helmets. I disagree. Life's a gamble...we're betting we will have an accident and the insurance company is betting we won't. Insurance companies' profits suggest they are holding the winning hand. Will an insurance company lower your premium because you wear a helmet and raise mine because I don't sometimes? You and I both know that isn't going to happen.

it's really secure to have ride with a helmet and for those who do no prefer it,kills

Head injury is the leading cause of death in motorcycle accidents.

If someone chooses not to wear a helmet its their call and i don't think that their insurance should increase. I could understand that if you are speeding and get cought your insurance goes up because you are endangering someone else's life but if you are not wearing a helmet and you go down you're hurting no one but your self. Not wearing a helmet in my opinion is retarded and idiotic.

It doesnt even have to be the riders fault for an accident and because you cant predict what others do how could you not wear a helmet. on the open road no one around you can still have a blow out or a rabbit and thats all it takes. to bad their isnt just 1 law that says helmets always everywhere.
