Hey guys! Alright, so we all know that different states have different rules. For bikes it is a drastic difference between California and Florida. Let’s dive right into what they are. The number one rule that we don’t have here is the helmet requirement! I know, very crazy.
As soon as I entered the state I saw a group of riders on Harleys all without helmets. I can understand if people want to have the wind in their hair or be really vain and not get messy helmet hair, but I personally don’t think that its worth losing your life over. Things that come attached to that law is that if you choose to ride without a helmet you have to have at least a 10,000 dollar insurance policy.

This plays right into the next rule. If you ride with a helmet you don’t need insurance. Meaning you don’t have to have insurance when you leave the dealership with your new bike, and unlike California they don’t get on peoples butts about getting insurance at all. Even though they don’t have twisties here there are lots of straightaways and people go way faster. There are also a lot of rich cops out. From what I’ve seen 75% of the cops I saw had Chargers or Impalas. The other fifteen are the standard Crown Victoria as in Cali. They also have no problem in meeting their monthly quotas. In the short time that I’ve been here, I have seen at least 2 people pulled over each day. Talk about raking in the money.
