Bikers Protest Proposed Helmet Law in Maine

>> Wednesday, February 09, 2005

The Bangor News reports that yesterday motorcyclists from across Maine gathered at the State House to speak out against a proposed mandatory helmet law for bikers. Maine had a helmet law before, but was repealed back in 1977.

Maine's governor, John E. Baldacci is a biker himself, who always wears his helmet despite not being required to do so. Balducci was also a strong advocate of the State's mandatory seat belt law. However, he's not so quick to sign a bill requiring helmets for bikers. So far, Balducci has not given his opinion on the proposed law.
