I have yet to see one one post from locals on FB that didn't heavily ridicule this idiotic idea or the city council. I think there is a good chance they may eventually reconsider this one...or the police/LTO may decide to let this one become yet another law that is not enforced. They may also have to alter the ticket books again to add this new infraction as they did with the flip-flops (that had already been law for decades) before anyone can start enforcing it.

It is odd though; how is it that every single person that was not in the city council who heard this idea immediately knew it was stupid and would do nothing to achieve the law's stated goal. The people who passed the law can't possibly be this dense. Seems almost as if this is a distraction to something else they are planning. I wonder what else was voted on that day? It seems quite Trumpesque in it's level of deflection.

 

What will they do if criminals decide to wrap a t-shirt or bandana around their head under the helmet or perhaps even wear a pair of aviator sunglasses? Ban those as well?

Tinted helmets, especially with those visors that flip up and down, are extremely useful and help protect your eyes against UV light and glare.
