Possible NH laws for helmets and exhausts

[tonyd]

Are you kidding me? I have State Farm and my insurance most certainly would pay to patch me up. I just did my policy so i know my coverage. It's 100k per person/300k per accident for bodily injury. It most CERTAINLY does cover me and injuries sustained if i got into an accident, my fault or not. If the other person isnt covered or undercovered then my insurance again would pick up the rest. I know this is true for most insurance companies and if it's not true for yours get a clue and get a new one.

My health insurance is another ball game. If i did need them due to an accident again i could call them in, but they'd want my auto insurance to step up.

Are we sure about this? Why is the medical listed under liability coverage? Maybe I am getting an education here... off to google.

[tonyd]

from definition section on carinsurance.com

"Bodily Injury Liability does NOT cover you or other people on your policy."

Double check what your agent is telling you.

[tonyd]

OK here we go, if someone else is involved without insurance your policy may pay for your injuries here:

"UNDERINSURED MOTORIST BODILY INJURY (UNDUM):
Covers you, the insured members of your household and your passengers for injuries, damages or death caused by the negligence of a person with insufficient insurance."

[RandyO]

Yea, but if my insurance rate is high because people don't wear thier helmet how is that fair?

how does our helmet law in NH affect your insurance rate in MA


btw, why does NH generally have lower insurance rates and no mandatory helmet law

ANSWER: less regulation

They covered my brother when he was in an accident. I'm sure mine is the same.

ANSWER: less regulation

It was a general statement on the idea of helmet laws and the affect on insurance rates. I figured that was fairly clear.

Yes having an unregulated insurance system will make for lower costs. Hence I hate MA's system. But I am talking about the affect of helmet laws on insurance and that if a helmet law reduces rates I'd be for it.

No need to dig for the MA vs NH argument.

I'm not speaking of insurance regulation, rather regulation in general, and most specificly helmet regulation

I believe if you do a study of insurance rates and helmet laws, you will find that states without helmet laws generally also have lower insurance rates

[Stegosaurous]

Hence I hate MA & RI's system.

Both MA and RI have insurance boards... Hence why it sucks so bad.

with the economy in the shitter, now is a perfect time to get a helmet law passed in exchange for tons of money from the u.s. govt. helmet laws are just another way the govt is slowly taking away americans freedom of choice. if a state decides they dont want to pass a mandatory helmet or seatbelt law, the govt holds highway funds "hostage" till they do. why arent seatbelts mandatory on a school bus? its all about money!! whether you're a safe rider and wear one or an idiot and dont (which i'm occasionally guilty of on trips to laconia)-it should still be your personal choice! if you look at a map showing how many states have helmet laws, you'll see the trend has more and more states relaxing their helmet laws as opposed to strengthening them.

Of the fifty states, only 4 are 100% helmet law free! :
Colorado, Illinois, Iowa and New Hampshire

Of the other 46 states, 20 have full helmet laws for all motorcycle riders:
Alabama, California, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia

19 States have helmet laws that exempt adult riders, riders over the age of majority -- 18 years old and over. Those states are:
Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming

There are 7 states that discriminate against adult bikers between the ages of 18 and 20. How bikers ever got involved in discriminating against their own kind (just younger) is beyond our comprehension. Those embarassments to the community are:
Arkansas (*), Florida, Kentucky (*), Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Texas

I agree, but i don't agree with helmet laws. Odd right?

Nope.

I believe in choice as well.

Right on! and just about every other common sense, nanny state law.

I am against a mandatory helmet law... primarily because I'm a huge fan of natural selection

NH wishes to be like Massachusetts. Goverment control of every aspect of your life. Next year the topic will be state sales tax. The residents will be threatened will massive teacher and school nurse layoffs and bridges falling down and fire department station closures. Only they can fix the problem with a "temporary tax". DO NOT LET THESE BASTARDS TAKE AWAY A SINGLE FREEDOM IT STARTS SMALL THEN SLOWLY THEY FUCK YOU.........Sorry about swearing. I hate big goverment.

[palanon]

No, NH doesn't want to be ANYTHING like Massachusetts. Unfortunately, so many Massholes have moved up to NH to get away from MA, their fucking shit up.

What's so hard to understand. You move from a state with crushing taxes and socialist ideals to a state that leaves you basically alone. Why, when you get here, do you suddenly scream for all the shit you got in Massafukinchusetts?

Before the ex- patriots arrived, we where happy with having good roads, a working DMV, a few cops, fire and rescue and schools that serviced multiple towns. Funny, shit can get done even when people stay out of your shit.

Now, southern NH is turning into Masshole North. I'm afraid that the self involve douches will take over the State House and start the cycle of taxing and giving unto themselves.

Then they can take over Canada. Fucking locust.

NH, the only state without a seatbelt law for adults (kids are required to wear belts) has not had any highway funds withheld

again , your facts are wrong, NH required helmets for riders under 18

and passengers IIRC

as far as the insurance stuff goes. Compulsory Insurance includes "Bodily injury to others" and "Personal Injury Protection". I'm not sure if the laws were changed when they started allowing competition in MA but I know 6 years ago you were required to pay PIP but under MA law you are automatically denied that covered if riding a motorcycle. Granted for me its only $3/yr for PIP but its the principle of it, I shouldn't have to pay that $3 if I'm not getting that coverage. Its pretty fucking stupid and its why I pay for an extra $10k in coverage. so say I did get into an accident on the street, my bike insurance would pay up to $10k then my health insurance would kick in after. The hospital is supposed to ask if its a vehicular accident, when I was asked she said it was something about going through the vehicles insurance for payment first.
