I'm a rugged individualist and understand what government overreach is. But I also understand that rights come with RESPONSIBILITIES. I'm all for a person to be free to not wear a helmet, but that I also that person should be responsible for his injuries. Seems like you want the rights, then demand I pay for someone else's irresponsibility. As I posted earlier, let em go without helmets as long as they have insurance to cover that choice. |

If you are at least 21 years of age and have an insurance policy with at least $10,000 in medical coverage for injuries you may suffer in a motorcycle crash, Florida law does not require that you wear a helmet. A violation of the law is only a noncriminal traffic infraction not punishable as a moving violation for which you can be ordered to pay a fine plus court costs and administration fees. From here: Motorcycle Helmet Laws By State |
I own 2 motorcycles. My motorcycle insurance is absolutely higher due to non-helmet crashing riders. Florida vehicle insurance is also much higher due to so many non-licensed and uninsured illegal aliens.

My answer that some that have NO or little experience on the subject, wish to have the authority install mandates, seemed to be "very comprehensive." I apologize if it seemed that I am "shoving" my "opinion down" your "throat." It was meant as discussion, not brainwashing. I don't believe in mandates so I will not force anyone to agree with me....:bigbow: I try to speak in general, not aimed at a particular poster. Using the reply button is just a means of trying to segregate the point so as to address the point, not the person. |

Hopefully you do not see this issue as 100% one way or the other. Life is not like that. There is nuance to most of life's concerns, and where we draw the line moves from time to time. It is perfectly reasonable to expect riders who stupidly ride without head protection to pay more insurance. The State of Florida seems to agree. |

Unless they are Villagers. Then they are just valued as compost no matter what is the cause of death. |

How would they not have the responsibility of paying for their own injuries? Aren't they required to have the same insurance as cars and trucks have? I guess it is not unreasonable to expect to pay more if smokers and drinkers pay more. I thought this was about banning motorcycles not helmet laws. |
