Fatality rates increase with repeal of helmet laws, MU study finds

Date:3/31/2008

s in states with partial laws were not statistically different from those with no helmet laws.

The federal government has pressured states to adopt universal helmet laws, but the trend has been toward more state control of helmet laws, Richardson said. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration promotes the effectiveness of helmet laws for getting motorcyclists to wear helmets, but there is no strategy for encouraging states to maintain or adopt universal coverage laws. This does not bode well for the future of universal helmet laws and motorcycle safety in the United States.

Currently, several states are considering modifying their helmet laws.

Advocates in many states are pushing to repeal state universal helmet laws or impose partial mandates that require only young riders to wear helmets, Richardson said. Many assume that wearing helmets becomes a habit for riders like wearing a seatbelt is for drivers and that having a law in place isnt necessary. This is a misconception. When laws arent in place and enforced, the evidence shows that a majority of riders do not wear helmets.
