Wear them or not, it's always the same thing; people who don't even do something are always making laws to regulate people who do.

"I know itsa fine line and the ticket would get thrown out of court," aaaaa I really don't know where Senoia, GA is, but neither of the headwear you mentionedup here north of Atlanta is going to be considered "protective gear" by the police or judges & you are going to get a ticket and pay a fine. At this point I must assume Senoia is reallynot located in the same Georgia I live in.

Uhh, I got a $700 ticket for 90 in a 70. I think my answer is pretty clear.

Oh thanks for the location info perhaps those items described in his thread are considered as "protective head gear" down there,

Anyone with personal experience??
old95, from your wording, I wonder, are you on the side of the law speaking or speaking form experience?

Senoia is South of Atlanta by about an hour off of I-85 and Hwy. 16 -- South of Fayetteville and Peachtree City, and for the most part is still very rural.

Yep, we're not quite that far out though.. To Senoia from I-85 is about 15mi east on 16, I'm about 8..The Airport is about a 30min drive..So, we are pretty rural, but most folks around here measure it by the fact the can be at one of two WalMart's in 15min...

I would check with your Insurance company...a ticket might not be the only issue....if the law reads protective headgear, and your insurance interprets that as a DOT helmet, and you arent wearing one. You may find a clause in there that says they dont have to pay....I know some policies are that if your state has a helmet law and you go to a state without a helmet law and wreck, without a helmet, they wont pay. Because your bike is registered and insured in a state with a helmet law....just a thought....

I know what you mean. We live in Newnan and commute back and forth to Hwy. 41 and Kennesaw every day.
