1. I believe the answer is: False.

Based on data that shows the number of a motorcyclist being killed since 1999-2003, there is an increase in fatalities among the motorcyclist. Most of the increase happened in 2002 after Florida passed the law that free the drivers from having to wear helmets.

2. I believe that statement is: True.

According to the law on effects of the law change in Florida, a person whose age is above 21 has the right to drive his/her motorcycle without wearing any helmet. With the condition that they have a coverage of $10,000 medical insurance..

The first answer is false, since 1999 there has been an increase in number in motorcyclists killed and injured. The second answer is true, in Florida, motorcycle drivers are free not to wear a helmet.

 

EXPLANATION

 

The increase of motorcyclists' injury and death in Florida has increased throughout the year, especially after the law of allowing people to ride a motorcycle without a helmet was legalized. Florida laws of using helmets actually have changed throughout the year. In 2000, Florida stated that motorcyclists are not required to wear helmets. This law has caused an increase in deadly crashes by 21%.

 

This law in Florida is in the Florida Statuses section 316.211. This law has stated that every individual below the age of 21 must wear a helmet in order to ride a motorcycle. Riders over the age of 21 can ride a motorcycle without a helmet. In order to ride a motorcycle without a helmet, they must provide proof that they have a $10,000 medical insurance policy, just in case if they got into a crash.

 

The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) said that in the states with mandatory helmet laws, nearly all the people there (almost 100%) wear helmets when riding a motorcycle. Meanwhile, in the states without the mandatory helmet laws, only half of the citizens choose to wear helmets. It was also found that in 2011, over 56% of motorcyclists crashes were because of not wearing a helmet. 30 months after the law was changed, the number of riders killed nearly tripled.
