In 1992, California enacted a helmet law for the stated purpose "to ensure that all persons are provided with an additional safety benefit while operating or riding a motorcycle, motor-driven cycle, or motorized bicycle." (Vehicle Code Section 27803(g)) | ||
 |
12 years, and 3 major court decisions later, the challenges to the statute, particularly in California, have demonstrated how little (no pun) the law actually requires. |

If this is all the various helmet laws require, and it is, what's the point? | ||
