Helmet laws

Helmet laws are regulations that require motorcyclists and sometimes cyclists to wear helmets while riding. These laws aim to enhance safety by reducing the risk of head injuries during accidents. The specifics of helmet laws can vary by location; some places mandate helmets for all riders, while others may only require them for certain age groups. Supporters argue that helmets save lives and minimize healthcare costs, while opponents may cite personal freedom and individual responsibility. Overall, these laws are designed to promote safer riding practices and protect public health.
