I am actually surprised with the number of states that do not have a universal helmet law. I thought there were only a handful of states left where you could ride without a helmet, but it turns out to be a majority, at least if you are over 20.
Helmet laws always remind me of when I was in Vietnam when they brought in a helmet law. For those who have been to Vietnam, you will know that the roads are covered with millions of riders mostly on small bikes like Honda Super Cubs and scooters. Well, the day I arrived in Hanoi, there was not a single rider with a helmet as far as I could see. The following day the law took effect, and there was not a single rider NOT wearing a helmet as far as you could see.
