Helmet bill is back again in Nebraska Legislature

[TexasTowelie]

During his eight years in the Nebraska Legislature, we agreed with many of the stances on issues taken by state Sen. Dave Bloomfield of Hoskins. That’s probably true of many of his constituents and Northeast Nebraskans in general.

But one notable issue in which we disagreed was his steadfast efforts to have the Nebraska legislature repeal state law that requires motorcyclists to wear a helmet while riding.

His failed legislative bills certainly had some supporters, but not nearly enough to convince state senators to repeal the law.

Sen. Bloomfield couldn’t run for re-election in 2016 because of term limits, and one wondered whether the issue might die with his leaving office.

1. Fucking idiots

I would say if it didn't effect everyone else, then go a ride with out a helmet if you're over 18, but because it jacks up everyone's insurance and also takes money out of the state treasury for the insured then you have no right to place others in jeopardy

2. I personally know how important it is to have a helmet.

It SHOULD be law. Not having a helmet can mess up a persons entire life. It can also make it hard on others.
