Adam Klepp joins ABC15 Arizona as a multimedia journalist after stops in Yuma and Tucson.
East Valley police departments teamed up this week to encourage motorcyclists to wear helmets, saying there have been over 200 crashes just this year.“I would a say rough numbers, half of our motorcyclist fatalities in Chandler are not wearing helmets,' Sergeant Dan McQuillin with the Chandler Police Department said.On Arizona roads, if you’re over the age of 18, you don’t need to wear a helmet if you are riding or driving a motorcycle.
Linne chooses to wear a helmet, but she doesn’t believe others should be required to do the same thing.“Just because people who support helmets wear helmets, doesn’t mean we want, or to force it on every rider,' Linne said.Studies by the National Institute of Health showed helmets decreased the chance of head injuries by 72%.Brian Lobert is another Valley biker. He believes without his helmet, he wouldn’t be alive today, and that making them required is the right choice.
