No. There aren't any "No Helmet" laws that I know of.
There *are* many states .... about half .... that have some form of
"Helmet Law", although they are slowly being repealed, state by state.

I don't know this for a fact, so it's pure speculation on my part, but I
suspect that the majority of people that support helmet laws .... don't
ride motorcycles.

Or not.


Did you notice that only 20 states had a full, mandatory helmet law? That
leaves 30 that have modified and loosened their laws since the Fed tried
to strong arm all states to enact a helmet law or lose highway funding.
At one point almost all states had a full helmet law due to pressure from
the Fed.

I am not against wearing a helmet .... in fact I do on a regular basis.
My state has a full law and I obey it. I also often wear a helmet even in
states that don't require one. It all depends on where we are riding,
when, and what the weather and traffic conditions are. When I deem it
safe, (whether anybody else agrees or not) I sometimes take a ride
without one.

I think Florida's revised law is reasonable and fair. If you are over 18
or 21 (forget which) and can prove that you have a personal health
insurance policy that will cover you in the event of an accident, no
helmet is required by law. It's your choice.


Just be careful. The last thing we need right now is yet another
presidential candidate.
