I agree with you Ron, both the helmet law and the seatbelt law should be on the books.

I think the law should stay where you have to wear helments to ride motorbikes. I also think the seatbelt law should stay also and I think both laws will stay bigtime.

Battaglia: Should we eliminate seatbelt laws as well? Why or why not?

And the idea that Jindal would have done better than Blanco is flawed. What proof do you give that Jindal would have done a better job? (And notice I said proof, not speculation).

I am 51 yrs old ! look at Arkansas -no helmet law ! Texas no helmet law! Look at all the rally’s that bring mega money to there states.
Florida , Daytona–millions of dollars spent by bikers
S.Dakota,Sturges–millions & millions of biker money spent there..

New Orleans could be the next place for millions of dollars to be spent by bikers !
you do know that when i say “Bikers” I mean doctors , lawyers,police officers,judges, all kinds of people ! not just a bunch of biker gangs–but everyday people !!!

Nick: In a vacuum, I agree. However, when you make such a law like this it makes it difficult. Let’s say that you do have insurance but the card was lost in the accident and the person who crashes needs to be rushed to the hospital. Do you not take them to the hospital and then risk finding out that they did actually have insurance? No. You cannot do that. So you have to treat the emergency. Which means that uninsured people would be treated in an emergency and if thye cannot pay for it then we get stuck with the costs.

Roadrunner: I believe I linked to a news story that reported Jindal’s stance on helmet laws. Of course, in order for Jindal to accomplish removing the helmet law, he would need the support of the Legislature. But the fact that he does support the repeal is disturbing.

Let try this again.

Where either in spoken or written words did Bobby Jindal say he would eliminate the helmet law. Bobby Jindal wouldn’t have that authority.

“Jindal would eliminate mandatory helmet laws.”
