FOR motorcyclists on the roads of our country, the number of victims increases. In the 10 years between 1996 and 2006, the mortality rate rose from 5.6 to 7.3 per 10000 registered motorcycles motorcyclists on the road after an analysis of the most recent data from the Confederation of Gannett News Service.

In Ohio, the statistics are equally depressing.
Between 2004 and 2006, there were 458 fatal motorcycle broke down after the State Highway Patrol. The victims, 73 percent of drivers involved, who did not wear a helmet.

Ohio is one of 27 states, helmets for young drivers. Three countries, Illinois, Iowa and New Hampshire, do not require helmets. Only 20 states require all motorcycle wearing a helmet.

This is a major change in 20 years, needs 47 countries, and all drivers wear a helmet.

The GNS study revealed that during the year 2006, only half of drivers wearing a helmet.

Between 2002 and 2006, the State Highway Patrol reported there were nine fatal motorcycle breaks down in Fairfield County alone.

No where in the Ohio Revised Code or the United States Constitution guarantees citizens the right to operate a motor vehicle. It is a privilege of merit by driving tests obeys the laws and transportation.

And because security is a motorcycle, something that concerns all of us, the time has come to the Ohio legislature to reconsider the state’s motorcycle helmet law.

Given that the effects of the decision to wear or not to wear a helmet for only drivers, it is within the State the right to require that all drivers don head protection.

Motorcycle accidents on the drivers, their families, others in the accident, insurance premiums, benefits in case of unemployment and the plight of personnel costs.
