I personally hope it doesn't pass (safety reasons aside - it's a no-brainer) because I don't want that lame "Michigan Catastrophic Claim Assessment" fee to take ANOTHER huge jump and in turn, raise every motorcyclist's insurance premiums.
I can only imagine insurance companies passing on a higher "surcharge" for our state's "Catastophic Claims" fee if the helmet law gets repealed.
Freedom of choice to wear a helmet - fine, OK. I get it. Cruisers enjoy it. And perhaps those on sportbikes who like to squid it up too...LOL
But don't penalize EVERY biker who chooses to gear up and continue to wear a helmet. Make the catastrophic fee increase applicable to ONLY THOSE who "choose" to not wear a helmet - since they value their "freedom of choice" so much, allow them to "choose" to pay the increases when their Michigan Catastrophic Claim assessment jumps up.
Give geared up riders a choice and don't punish all bikers with the Michigan Catastrophic Claims increases (which will surely be coming if the helmet law gets repealed)...
