Chas.
When I lived on the East Coast I could never figure out why they would pass a law like this. Most Motorcycle wrecks I have witnessed did not provide the opportunity to dawn a helmet.Part III. Operation and Equipment. Chapter 41. Rules of the Road. Subchapter XI. Miscellaneous Rules. Section 4185:
" . . . (b) Every person operating or riding on a motorcycle shall have in that person's possession a safety helmet approved by the Secretary of Public Safety and shall wear eye protection approved by the Secretary; provided, however, that every person up to 19 years of age operating or riding on a motorcycle shall wear a safety helmet and eye protection approved by the Secretary."
I've seen guys riding with a helmet on the back on one side....my husband will say, well, his hip will survive at least.
After my husband's helmet saved his life, I just don't understand why anyone would ride without one. Well, God's angels saved his life, but the helmet probably did some work, too.
