Title: Re: AZ Motorcycle Helmet law Fails Post by: sandy on January 22, 2017, 06:44:23 AM I heard about this bill but didn't know it failed. I would never support a helmet law but I always wear safety gear. ATGATT. I find it ironic that most motorcyclists probably wear seat belts. Why isn't there a protest movement to remove seatbelt laws. I try to make my personal policies consistent. If everyone had to clean up brain matter, as I have, they would take another approach to safety.

But I have to admit I never wear a seatbelt. I'm not in favor of mandatory laws except for children. At 18 you should be able to decide for yourself.Title: Re: AZ Motorcycle Helmet law Fails Post by: Big Tom 10628 on January 22, 2017, 07:20:21 AM I do not support Helmet laws. I do wear a Helmet and my Seat Belt at all times.
Have never needed the Helmet but the Seat Belt has saved me from injury several times, including the time I found myself hanging from it when the action stopped. You should be aware that Juries have taken Helmet and Seat Belt use into consideration when issuing a verdict.

[/quote]How so ? [/quote] If this is what you are asking about, a portion of the blame for injuries is assigned to the person not wearing a protective device. If you are Picky like Ron and want me to cite case law you are out of luck. :) Title: Re: AZ Motorcycle Helmet law Fails Post by: The emperor has no clothes on January 23, 2017, 07:40:25 AM You should be aware that Juries have taken Helmet and Seat Belt use into consideration when issuing a verdict.
