Default Vermont State Trooper

Got stopped by a VT state trooper today on Route 9 near hogback mountain. He stopped me for and issued a written warning for a non-dot approved helmet.

Hey, thats the chance you take when you wear one of those. Got one myself, bought a fake D.O.T. sticker to go on my fake helmet. No tickets so far, but, I won't bitch if I get one!

That's what I was thinking. Sounds like the OP wasn't running fast enough, lmfao.

I have been wearing a novelty helmet for the last 20 years. Never been stopped for it.

Why wear one? It sure beats wearing a DOT helmet. And yes I tested it myself. Hit the concrete at 70 mph with it last year.
