They can use that $20k to pay me to put a bullet in their brain after the accident to obviate the need for long-term medical care they can’t afford. I offer my services to the state of Michigan.
Seriously, coverage should cover what could realistically happen. $20k doesn’t cover squat these days in the medical world.
Joe: I think everyone else said it well. You’re assumptions about me are wrong but you probably don’t care anyway. I think in this case it is just not a good idea to allow bikers to go without helmets.
How in the world can you be so for seatbelts and not want to wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle with today’s distracted drivers out there? Have a nice weekend.
I applaud the Michigan senate’s decision. You cannot and should not legislate personal safety and you cannot and should not protect people against their own stupidity and poor judgment. Donorcyclists deserve the right to roll the dice and gamble that they won’t become vegetables or quadrapalegics, or die from a traumatic head injury. They enjoy the risk of their body hitting the pavement or a fixed object with no metal structure to protect or encumber them. In an accident, it doesn’t matter how great a driver the Donorcyclist was. The laws of physics are irrefutable. I only wish the senate would pass another law restricting the amount of medical care that will be provided to Donorcyclist who don’t wear a helmet. Society and it’s responsible taxpayers shouldn’t have to subsidize medical care for idiots.
How would such a law be enforced on out of state riders? Will riders have to put a sticker on their forehead promoting that they have complied with the requirements? My auto policy from another state automatically provides MI coverages if I am in an accident there. What about cycle policies? How will an out of state rider prove they have taken a motorcycle safety course? There is just not enough information here.
To satisfy the concerns of thos that pay PIP premiums, helmetless cyclists should not be able to receive PIP benefits when in accidents involving autos.
I used to ride one of your “steel horses” and I’m alive because I was wearing a helmet. You can take your freedom at any cost to others attitude and ride in some other state. We don’t need the cost of you idiots here in the state of economic ruin.
