Last Spring a new helmet law was introduced into the State legislature that would make it illegal to ride without a helmet if you don’t have proper insurance.
ABATE as a nice write up . I personally have mixed feelings about this. Making someone else pay because you are choosing to ride without ATGATT is not cool. However, I don’t like the government continuing to invade our personal decisions either.
Anyone heard of the status on this? I believe it went into committee, but that was quite a while ago. Sound off in the comments if you know any details or want to weigh in on the subject.

That is crazy! Personally I never (well maybe around the block) ride without a helmet but I don’t like being told what to do. Sounds like they just want probable cause to pull over anyone not wearing one.
I simply read it as the idiots that ride without a lid can pay their own damn way for their much more expensive injuries.
I believe in ATGATT, and ride that way. Here is another and probably as uncomfortable big brother type scary way to do it.: the insurance company could reduce the amount they pay or increase the deductible for medial based on weather you were wearing a helmet or ATGATT or not. Thoughts?
I’m with Joe, just another reason to pull people over.
It seems that it’s a pretty good compromise to allow the freedom to ride without protection, but require personal responsibility and not ask society to foot the bill for your ‘freedom’.
