How much is a ticket in California for not wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle?

I am clearly under 18 and have heard to many things on how much the price of the ticket is. I am wondering if anyone has the actual amount.


Answer
It will cost you $25 for each infraction. Here is the Vehicle code section for your answer.

21212. (a) A person under 18 years of age shall not operate a bicycle, a nonmotorized scooter, or a skateboard, nor shall they wear in-line or roller skates, nor ride upon a bicycle, a nonmotorized scooter, or a skateboard as a passenger, upon a street, bikeway, as defined in Section 890.4 of the Streets and Highways Code, or any other public bicycle path or trail unless that person is wearing a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet that meets the standards of either the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), or standards subsequently established by those entities. This requirement also applies to a person who rides upon a bicycle while in a restraining seat that is attached to the bicycle or in a trailer towed by the bicycle.

(e) Except as provided in subdivision (d), a violation of this section is an infraction punishable by a fine of not more than twenty-five dollars ($25).

I have a question about the bicycle helmet law?

I live in Arlington, TX and it is illegal for anyone under 18 to ride a bicycle without a helmet here. But I heard that police officers don't stop you to enforce this law because it is too much paperwork for such a small "crime". I've seen people ride without helmets all the time and I would like to know if this is true.

I also know that I should wear one but they look so weird and I'd rather not hear any safety advice...



Answer
You shoud wear a helmet, you dont have to use those XC/AM helmets, you can use these:

the pro BMXers, and dirt jumpers use those. they are better, dont look as geeky, and you can customize one with stickers to make it look sweet as!
