Myrtle Beach Helmet Laws reversed

The South Carolina Supreme Court overturned the City of Myrtle Beach’s decision to implement a Helmet Law. The law only relates to the City of Myrtle Beach and not any neighboring cities. It was said by many to have impacting the Myrtle Beach area economically. The number of visitors was said to be down on previous years, which is said to have directly impacted the sales that shops experienced. All of South Carolina’s neighbors have state-wide laws that require motorcyclists to wear helmets. There has been a lot of controversy about the law. There has also been a lot of controversy about why the law was brought in, some stating it was deliberate act to kill bike week. The City of Myrtle Beach has however claimed it is for safety reasons.
