Had my own run in with the law this year wearing my novelty helmet.Been wearing one off and on for 11 years.Had a NYS Park Police officer pull me over and told me the samething about cracking down on non dot helmets.Explained to me officers are getting more training and pressure to spot and ticket.

Come on guys!...how can the helmet law NOT be in violation of the constitution....especially when SOME people are excempt from wearing them for certain reasons. This has to be the same in both countries....
isn't there a lawyer who reads these forums who could shed some light on this and maybe look into it.?

Helmet laws do not violate your constitutional rights. The right to operate a motorcycle without protective headgear is never enumerated with the Bill of Rights of the subsequent amendments.
Highways are and public streets / roads are property of the state. You have no legal right to operate a motor vehicle on state property, it is a privilege granted by the state. Privileges are conditional, such as a valid license, tax paid on the vehicle, etc etc.
Lay off the rights crap, it isn't a right, it's a privilege granted at the states discretion.

hey DU,
i had the same problem with it sitting too high. carefully cut the felt liner at the front, and peel it back exposing the foam shell. take an angle grinder and a sanding disc or flapwheel and carve the inside out to fit yer head. spray glue the liner back down and no-ones the wiser.
works fer me man.

You could try one of these, they are pretty slim for DOT approved helmets, not so bulky. They are carbon fiber. http://www.carbonfiberhelmets.com/kyakhelmets.php
