Motorcycle Policy and the Public Interest: A Recommendation for a New Type of Partial Motorcycle Helmet Law. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

We describe proposed helmet legislation that protects individual rights and provides incentives for helmet use through a differential motorcycle registration fee that requires higher fees for those who wish to ride without a helmet.
