Dumbest move ever.
I don't much give a care, but anyone who rides a motorcycle without a helmet doesn't have much in the way of brains to protect anyway.
With all the problems in our state why was this a priority?
I care because this will mean increases in insurance costs. This governor is speaking out of both sides of his mouth. Civil servants were forced to take a big hit January 1 in order to decrease the cost of medical insurance, now this will increase it. Expect it to get even more harder and more expensive to get car insurance.
This will increase vehicle insurance for all, and increase medical costs for all. Will lead to more injuries and deaths.
Idiotic law, and I voted for Snyder.
Does anyone believe that if motorcycles were invented today, with all the laws governing automobiles, they would have any chance of being legalized? Yet, the gov't says it's okay to fly off these things head first into the pavement without protection. Very bizarre.
I guess if you're over 18 pass the required tests and have an additional $20,000 in medical insurance [[important requirement) and you want to take the risk when studies have shown that helmets give you a better chance of survival in an accident then have at it.
Unsafe at any speed.
Live to ride, ride to die.
I'll keep my 4000 pound safety cage.
When does it go into effect?
I wish everyone could ride a motorcycle at some point in their life to understand what drivers of automobiles take for granted everyday. Riding a motorcycle makes you realize how unsafe we all are on the road [[and it's not the motorcycle, scooter [[including disability scooters), bicycle, or the pedestrian endangering our lives). It is more dangerous than ever with the amount of drivers texting and web surfing at drivers fingertips while operating 4000 pounds of lethal inertia.
He is a nerd and an idiot. I am a Republican and I supported him. In the past now
This, unfortunately this is going to effect us all despite the idea of it "protecting individual rights." Idiotic move.I care because this will mean increases in insurance costs.

Between medical expenses and living expenses, $20k is a drop in the bucket for a brain injured person.
Pandering. On facebook, some idiot community-college-dropout blowhard I went to elementary school with is all gung-ho over his right to increase our insurance costs. To give you a more detailed profile of the a target audience, he doesn't have any favorite books and is a fan of Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh. To me it seems this is a political move to gain favor of the completely-fucking-stupid.
I'm still a Snyder supporter, but this law is a waste of time. Plus, the insurance costs are going to affect us. Helmets saved the lives of people I love multiple times that are stupid enough to ride motorcycles. Now, if they outlawed motorcycles altogether, I'd say that Snyder is infringing on people's personal rights, but helmets should be a requirement. I will personally hand out Darwin awards to people who ride without helmets.
Well on the flip side... this should provide a surge in organ donations...
Like one comedian is known for saying.... "it's time to cull the herd"....
I used to ride, and there seems to be a fair amount of animosity against motorcycle riders out there -- I was run off the road twice, and the manner in which it happened signified intent. On the other hand, there are a fair amount of knuckleheads [[not the old Harley engines) on bikes and a-h's running open headers. If I were an insurance company, I would charge a hefty premium on a helmetless rider.I wish everyone could ride a motorcycle at some point in their life to understand what drivers of automobiles take for granted everyday.

I still don't understand why making riders where helmets is considered an infringement of their liberties, but making drivers and passengers wear seat belts is not. [[For the record, I think both should be mandatory).
Jaw-dropping foolishness. Other than idiots, who is the constituency for this? Why would we want go backwards on a matter of public safety that provably saves lives?
