The State of Louisiana is "toying" with the idea (and people's lives) of lifting the Helmet law while riding a motorcycle.
1-I don't ride a motorcycle. I wouldn't mind but I don't have one.
2-My first thought was "Whatever...it should be up to the rider."
3-I quickly changed my mind. WHY?
a-Why mess with a law that pretty much works?
b-The "law" doesn't cost the State anything.
c- Why waste time on it?
d- I've seen some pretty cool helmets.
4- If they lift this law, wait until the first person is killed in a crash where a helmet could have prevented death.
We shall see...
In the meantime, here is some reading for you.
