Default Helmet Law Cheat Sheet

Well I know that this has come in handy for me I just made it up a lil while back and thought I should share. I go on some long trips sometimes many states and always seem to forget which states require helmets and which dont so I keep this Ironically under the pad in my helmet. I live in Michigan a helmet state and love to take it off for a little while (if the law permits) so thought maybe there were some others out there like me. Well Yes means helmet required, Under 18/under 21 means if you aren't of that age then you are required to wear a helmet.(hope this link works if it doesn't let me know)

Yeah that is where I made my list from. Just always thought it would be nice to have a little sheet that said all the helmet laws because 99% of the states won't pull you over for handlebars or headphones helmet is the big one.
