Not every state has helmet laws. Being from Michigan, where there is a helmet law, and taking a ride down into Ohio, where there is no helmet law, is wild. Ohio riders often tell me I can take the helmet off in Ohio. They must have softer concrete in Ohio.
Michigan's helmet law has been around since 1969, I think.
Law or not, I'll keep the lid on.

The laws vary from state to state. The state I live in only requires people under the age of 18 to wear helmets.

The fight began in the 1960's. South Carolina had an ALL rider helmet law from 1967 until 1980.

The helmet law is a state thing. It depends where you live. There are still a few states where you don't need them. Of course you should anyway.
