Motorcycle Helmet Laws: A Case Study of Consumer Protection.
Dardis, Rachel; Lefkowitz, Camille
Journal of Consumer Affairs, v21 n2 p202-20 Win 1987
The study examines societal losses from 1976 federal legislation on state motorcycle helmet laws. Comprehensive state helmet laws would have had cost-benefit ratios ranging from 0.05 to 0.18. The fact that 31 states did not have comprehensive helmet laws in 1981 raises questions concerning whether society should intervene on behalf of consumers. (Author/CH)
