• "Motorcycle helmet law debate continues"
  
  "The debate on whether motorcycle riders in Michigan should be required to wear a helmet has started again.
  
  It was recently reported that two different legislations were introduced to the House and Senate to repeal the nearly 40 year old law that mandated those who ride on a motorcycle must wear a helmet. If passed, one bill would allow riders above the age of 21 to ride helmet-less if they carried at least $20,000 in personal injury insurance. The other would require riders above the age of 21 to pass a safety course and carry a motorcycle endorsement on their license for at least the two previous years if they wanted to go without a helmet."
