The Michigan motorcycle accident lawyers of Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. created a state by state motorcycle helmet laws graphic to aide bikers in their rides across the U.S. The Motorcycle Helmets Laws graphic is a map of the U.S., with a color key that defines the helmet laws in each state. Not only does the graphic consist of great information on the state helmet laws, fines, and jail time, but is visually cool as well. The map is displayed on the back of a biker’s black-distressed leather jacket, with other information uniquely displayed on the motorcycle’s rear-view mirrors.

What about the catastrophic insurance everyone in this no-fault state has to pay? Think (sorry) brain dead former riders aren't going to run into some medical bills that their insurance companies are going to stop paying? Make it a "your fault state" IF you have a motorcycle accident while not wearing a helmet and end up with an internal head injury. The last concussion I had caused difficulty in my just being coherent let alone finding a job... and that was "just" a bruised brain.

I asked a couple of local cops how they check that helmetless riders are experienced as well as carrying the extra insurance and they told they don't!

Here here! I ride as well and would've had a fractured skull after flying off my bike 27 years ago. Let's make long pants and shoes optional while we're at it. Oh! Nevermind. I've seen those idiots on the road as well. ; )

No doubt about it! It's all fluff... just politics as usual. How do bikers prove that they're carrying that extra $20,000 in insurance as well as that they're an experienced rider? According to a couple of local cops that I asked about how they check those. They said "we don't."

You know what? If I were governor of Michigan, I would ban motorcycles altogether! We don't need you pigs on our roads! How's that for a plan?

If we want to increase motorcycle safety how about getting rid of the cable guard rails we have been franticaly putting up on our highways or eliminating pea stoning the roads, or perhaps actually repave roads rather than have tire swallowing pot holes. Just a thought to keep things in perspective.
