Bill Seeks To Repeal WA Helmet Law
 |
Anyone have one of these they
want to part with? |
I was just telling a friend that I need an Evel Knievel-style motorcycle helmet for my winter sledding exploits and how hard it is it find them. There could be a lot of helmets flooding area Goodwills though if a bill repealing the state helmet law is passed. The Washington State Senate Transportation Committee has a hearing on the proposal today.
While I'm skeptical that the bill will pass, motorcycle helmet laws across the nation have apparently been falling out of favor in recent years.
The News Tribune has the pros and cons of repealing the helmet law.
