People dont drive thru a school zone where kids cross the street in an unsafe manner, driving within inches of a pedestrian. Why? Because you will get a ticket, or injure or kill a child. If people started going to jail for unsafe movements around motorcycles resulting in a catastrophic injury or death people would pay attention and be safe around bikes. DO YOUR JOB LEA.
If LEA enforced laws where cars and trucks were acting in an unsafe manner less bikers would be killed. A car will tailgate, cutoff, or pull in front of a motorcycle right in front of a cop and the cop will not do anything. You never hear about a motorcyclist pulling out in front of another biker (in a car or on a bike) why is that??? Bikers have better vision? No because bikers have situational awareness. LEA..DO YOUR JOB.
We care about your safety so much that if you are not doing what we consider safe, we will take your money! Yippy! Aren't you people happy that we are making you safe!
The state is running a 3.7 billion dollar deficit, yet cops are being invited to see more of this propaganda and lies at two hotel conference rooms, with free lunch, in February.
Fuckin bullshit its a way for the abundance of cops since 911 to justify their jobs , i pay johny law to protect me from criminals ,drunk drivers, etc. etc. not myself????? 40 somethin years >now i need them to make sure i dont get a boo boo? I got one went to court stupid judge said i dont know what a dot helmet is ????????? now you tell me (safety or money?)
Call a taxi, Jernigan. It looks like you have the glassy eyes of a chronic alcoholic. BOLT of NC has fought the helmet statute to the point where courts dismiss rather than allow trials. Hey all, slap some electrical tape across that DOT symbol, don't take off your helmet, and refuse consent to search.
WOW... Picking this apart is so simple!!! (since FMVSS-218 does not require any specific construction material be used). It does not state "thickness" of a liner either. And we all know the DOT sticker can legally be removed or covered at any time by the rider legally. And if you do not take your helmet off... how can LEO see the manufacturer label. MY GOSH WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!
The insurance companies paid lawmakers plenty for this law

Does North Carolina law specifically prohibit me from manufacturing a helmet for my own personal use? Does the law require me to buy a helmet?
