(LegalLaw247.com, November 09, 2011 ) Asheville, NC -- It looks as if Michigan motorcyclists may not be required to wear helmets in the near future. Preliminary voting in Michigans House seems to indicate that a bill proposing to lift the requirement for helmets may pass as long as a rider maintains a certain level of medical insurance.
This legislation will allow motorcyclists over 21 years old to ride sans helmet as long as they purchase at least $20,000 in medical insurance, complete a safety course, and have two or more years of motorcycle driving experience. The state's Senate passed a similar bill, but that one required $100,000 in insurance. In order for the bill to make it in front of the governor, the Senate and House would have to come to an agreement on the dollar amount of coverage.
Similar bills have been vetoed in the past and the current governor does not seem overtly interested in approving this one. Wearing a helmet makes a great deal of safety sense. No amount of medical coverage is going to replace a loved one if they are in a coma or die as the result of a motorcycle accident.

The vast majority of states, including Michigan, require that riders purchase and maintain motorcycle insurance. Of course, this can be an expensive proposition. The best way to save is request a motorcycle insurance quote from each provider in one's area. That way a consumer can find the policy that offers the best combination of affordability and coverage.
