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.

Why was Lewis and Clark's expedition more valuable than Pike's?
nataly862011 [7]
I found this on this site hope it helps

When Napoleon needed money, he sold Jefferson the Louisiana Purchase, which he had acquired when he conquered Spain. To find out what he'd just purchased, Jefferson sent Merriweather Lewis and William Clark to explore it. It covered an area from Louisiana northward to Missouri and across the biggest part of the Great Plains and Northwest. The team which went with them included such diverse people as Sacajawea, a Shoshone Indian and her baby Lewis's slave, French trappers, woodsmen, and other interpreters. Lewis concentrated on cataloging what they found, such as the various Native American tribes, animals, and plants, and mapping the region, while Clark was the woodsman who led the expedition. They went through many hardships, though miraculously only one member of the expedition died over the several years they were gone. At one point they were starving in the Rocky Mountains--there was not enough fat on the deer they shot to keep them alive. They found an Indian tribe to barter with, but the chief refused to deal with them until Sacajawea walked in--she was his sister, who had been kidnapped from the tribe at the age of 5! Needless to say, they got their food. They made it to the Pacific Ocean, where they then split into two groups, one of which took a more southerly route back.
