RE: Helmet Law (it is here)
ORIGINAL: dougbk
You got me thinking so I checked my ACC helmet and my Super Seer and the Super Seer may be 1/16th to an 1/8 inch thicker but that is all. The Super Seer is one of the premier law enforcement half helmets on the market. They are worn by many law enforcement agencies and I would bet even agencies in NC. So I think I am going to have to call BS on the Trooper.
I got one and had a Trooper check it out and because it doesnt have 1" foam lining it is Illegal in NC. ACC has 5/8 foam.

RE: Helmet Law (it is here)
I ride with a full face in the winter, only because its cold. Don't care for it but oh well. We don't have a helmet law here in Pa. But when traveling u always seem to need one. I've yet to find a dot helmet that dosen't make me look like a mushroom head. So I aways toss my bennie in the bag. But don't get me wrong I'm still looking for that non mushroom head dot helmet.

The DOT threateningto withhold funds froms states without helmet laws is not a new tactic. That's the only way helmet laws can become universal. They could never stand on there own merit. In 1967 The federal highway safety act mandated helmet laws. 49 states complied. California fought back. In 1977 that portion of the highway safety act was changed. The result was helmet laws dropped like flies.
The Blackmail tactic, even if it were reinstated, would not be a federal helmet law anymore than it was in the 60's and 70's.

Keep in mind that "court costs" is nothing to sneeze at either. In Charlotte the court costs on a ticket I got last fall (non motorcycle related and fortunatly I fought it and won) were around $120!!!!!! That could bring the total up close to $300 + the pain in the A$$!
