Howard County mandates helmets for under 16 cyclists
Howard County passes the first nation wide youth helmet law requiring children under 16 to wear head protection since October 1. The measure aims to reduce head injuries with schools expanding safety programs and police using a three violation citation policy while PTA groups bulk-buy helmets to keep costs down. The law faces critics but many cite 75 percent of bicycle deaths from head trauma and 85 percent of head injuries preventable with helmets. County officials hope Frederick County may follow.
