Default Florida laws????

Okay Floridians what is the law on the $10,000medical ins.? Talked to my insurance lady and she was dumber than a box of rocks. Couldn't answer anything. What do I need and what proof? Leaving this weekend for Florida and have to were helmet in Missouri-Tennessee- Mississippi- & Alabama but want to go helmetless in Florida. Any info appreciated. Thanx from helmetlessin Illinois.

If you carry a min. of 10K in medical ins. you can ride without a helmet. I have not once seen that law enforced.. My ins. card has coverages listedon the back. Most folks I know that ride just keep their card with them.

Hope this helps.

+1.. I've yet tohear ofanyone being pulled over for riding without a lid~ However if pulled over for any other reason, youcan be asked to provide proof of insurance~ Again, have yet to hear of this either~ I even provided my insurance card w/ my DL once, just out of habit, and the officer was suprised I even kept insurance on my bike~ He didn't even think twice about that little helmet lawstipulation~ I think they're mostly looking out for the young'ns on bikes~

Don't worry about it. Come on down. Whatever fine you'll pay if you get popped will probably be a wash against what the ins company will charge for the extra coverage. Just be cool when you get here or you wont be invited back.
