Will Georgia Repeal its Helmet Law?

Will Georgia lose its mandatory helmet law? Four senators introduced a bill in Georgia to repeal its helmet law. The proposed legislation would be similar to Florida’s in that it would allow bikers over the age of 21 to ride without a DOT approved helmet if they carry appropriate health insurance. As I posted earlier, I have mixed feelings about helmet laws. On one hand, I personally wear a helmet, and truly believe that they save lives. On the other hand, I don’t like to be told what to do by anyone - ever. So is the repeal of the Georgia helmet laws likely to happen? Would the repeal constitute a form of Darwinism? This will be something very interesting to follow, and you can expect to hear a lot more about this in the future.
