bicycle helmets georgia law image
Q. Hi,
I am 15, and I was wondering about wearing a bicycle helmet. Now I know it is law and everything, but I was wondering about how much cops really care if they were too see me riding with out it?
Would they just pull over and ask me to go straight home and get it? Or would I actually be charged ect. ect.
Do they really want to waste their time?
Thanks.....
Recap: What are they allowed to do by law? What would they most likely do?
Thanks a bunch.

Answer
In Georgia, a person under the age of 16 cannot be fined or imprisoned for not wearing a helmet. I am not sure about your state.
What would *I* do? Well, since I have kids your age, I would tell you to go home and get the helmet. You don't want to find out firsthand what happens if you crash without a helmet.

Again, yes, you need a license. Moped Licensing Requirements
Must be 15 years of age and have in their possession a valid driverâs license, instructional permit or limited permit
If you are under age 18, parent's permission. Georgia Standard Instructional Permit Requirements
Applicants must be at least 15 years old and be able to pass the eye and knowledge test. When driving, there must be a licensed driver at least 21 years old in the front seat with him or her at all times. The permit is valid for 24 months. Parental consent is required for applicants under 18 years of age.
You don't need plates. Moped Registration
Mopeds are exempt from the provisions relating to the registration and licensing of motor vehicles
But you do have to stay in school. Additionally, you may not apply or keep a driver's permit or license if you withdraw from school (if you are under age 18), have a total of 10 unexcused absences or have certain conduct infractions.
And wear a helmet. Moped Traffic Laws
Operators of mopeds must wear protective headgear (motorcycle helmet).
Operators of bicycles aided by electric power may wear a properly fitted bicycle helmet instead of an approved motorcycle helmet.
No tag is required.
Every person operating a moped upon a roadway must obey the same traffic laws governing drivers of motor vehicles.
May not use limited access highways or other roadways where the minimum speed limit is above 35 mph.
Wherever a usable path or sidewalk designated for use of bicycle riders adjacent to a roadway has been provided, bicycle riders shall use such path or sidewalk and shall not use the roadway.
Persons riding mopeds upon a roadway shall not ride more than two abreast except on paths or parts of roadways set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles.
It doesn't say insurance is required, but it might be a good idea to have some coverage.
