BadPig- I'm glad this bill didn't pass. It always amazes me the things they try to get passed.Like the organ doner thing. Although, I wouldn't mind a handsfree bill going up. But it probally wouldn't be enforced like it should be like the moving over or slowing down for emergncy vehicles on the side of the road. I have been watching that and don't ever see anyone do that. Do you see people doing that if you have someone pulled over?

However, just because it didn't pass this year doesn't mean it wont be back next.
If the Sen. has the right people pushing him or he has a personal agenda it will be back just under a different bill#.
When I was dealing with the legislators about 4x4's and rivers they kept coming back each year till they got it passed.

That's the wrong attitude, sitting there thinking it won't happen or I'll get around it will just put the lid on the can.
If you can not show your coverage they can ticket you.
I just got a ticket yesterday for no helmet by 2 Travis county motorcycle units, I have PIP but it doesn't show it on my insurance card so now I have to present my policy with proof that there is at least $10,000 worth of coverage on me and it will be dropped.

With all due respect, but applying for, providing the appropriate information, and receiving the 'Helmet Exemption' sticker (all of $5.00) would have avoided such a situation and corresponding hassle(s). Having said sticker on your plate demonstrates that you havesubmitted the information required to the TxDPS, it has been verified,and that you are incompliance with the law. Just my .02.

Besides, I had a good long chat with the officers after I got the ticket asking questions while they stood there sweating in their helmets and gear , we were in a nice sunny parking lot.

Cool, because all I could find was it was left in committee an I wasn't sure when the session was over.

Any time the government, Fed, State, or local, tries to do anything that's for "my own good" all I hear are two words - BEND OVER ! [:'(]

RE: Texas is tryin to revamp helmet law........
Is this a new law or a proposed new law? WTF. The Texas legislature is not in session and will not be for another (almost) two years. I do not think any laws relating to motorcycles passed in the last term of the Tx legislature. I could be wrong.
Oops. I had not read the previous post when I initially posted this. My question has been answered. Thanks.

PA modified the helmet law! The battles never ends, on the table now is noise pollution!! a local mayor says you can have drag pipes and go thru his city, just don't bang on it and you'll be fine....it's called PERSONNEL RESPONSIBILITY.....but that is a fight..........I know this is not the political forum, but everyone needs to join their states ABATE or biker rights organization to help fight against governmental pressure. I sold my stock pipes and don't plan on buyer another set!!! In some cases, we are our own worst enemy!!!
