Subject: | Riding Motorcycles & Headphones |
In the near future, I plan to reintroduce legislation (former HB 1504) that would allow motorcycle riders to wear one or more headphones/earphones or a helmet with these built in capabilities. Currently under Commonwealth statute, a motorcycle rider is only able to wear a headset that provides sound through one ear in conjunction with a cell phone or other communication device. I believe this law should be updated to better reflect the times, with the advent of wireless headsets, earbuds/earphones and Bluetooth communication/speakers built into helmets that a majority of riders use and should not be penalized for. Please join me in supporting this commonsense legislation. |
Introduced as HB538
