Proposed Bill Would Allow Adults To Decide Whether Or Not To Wear A Motorcycle Helmet
Another proposed transportation bill (see previous post) says that if adults don’t want to wear helmets while riding motorcycles, they shouldn’t have to.
Washington is one of 19 states that require a helmet for anyone riding a motorcycle or moped on state highways, county roads and city streets. SB 5198, which got a hearing Monday before the Senate Transportation Committee, would allow adults to forgo protective headgear.
Again, the Spokesman-Review has more on this proposal.
