[RC] Helmet ? - New Florida law - Truman Prevatt

Ah yes - the periodic helmet fist fight. While I let others comment from "the idiocy of not wearing a helmet", "it my damn head - I scramble it if I want you can't tell me what to do" to the by golly I make my kids do it but you can't make me do it."

I would, however, like to remind or inform everyone in Florida of  Nicole’s Law which goes into effect 1 Oct on all state lands in Florida. Nicole's requires the use of a certified helmet for equestrians 15 years old and under riding on State lands.
 
I have been told that initially the rangers will be enforcing it with education. However, it comes with a fairly stiff fine and eventually those in violation will be ticketed.
