"To
be constitutional, it
was not necessary that
there be a more
substantial relationship
between statute
requiring motorcyclists
to wear protective
headgear and the public
health, safety and
welfare than that
provided by the test of
mere
reasonableness." Love
v. Bell , 1970, 465
P.2d 118, 171 Colo. 27.
"In
absence of proof that
certain events could not
cause motorcyclists,
unprotected by helmets,
to lose control of their
vehicles and cause
injury to others on or
near the public highway,
plaintiffs failed to
meet burden of proving
that statute requiring
motorcyclists and their
passengers to wear
protective headgear bore
no reasonable
relationship to the
public health, safety,
and welfare." Love
v. Bell , 1970, 465
P.2d 118, 171 Colo. 27.
"Fact
that, as an alternative
to statute requiring
motorcyclists to wear
protective headgear,
legislature might have
required motorcycle
manufacturers to place
windshields on
motorcycles did not
affect constitutionality
of statute." Love
v. Bell , 1970, 465
P.2d 118, 171 Colo. 27.
"Statute
requiring motorcyclist
to wear protective
helmet and goggles, face
shield, or safety
glasses was reasonably
related to the public
health, safety, and
welfare of the rest of
the motoring public and
was, therefore, a valid
exercise of the state's
police power." Love
v. Bell , 1970, 465
P.2d 118, 171 Colo. 27.
"Statute
requiring motorcyclists
to wear protective
headgear was not an
unconstitutional burden
on freedom of movement
and the right to
travel." Love v.
Bell , 1970, 465
P.2d 118, 171 Colo. 27.
"Legislature,
in imposing requirement
that motorcyclists wear
protective headgear, was
justified in treating
motorcycles as a
distinctive class apart
from other motor
vehicles." Love
v. Bell , 1970, 465
P.2d 118, 171 Colo. 27.
"In
action to declare
statute requiring
motorcyclists to wear
protective headgear,
unconstitutional
evidence did not support
contention that helmets
as such do not prevent
accidents, but rather
interfere with proper
operation of a
motorcycle." Love
v. Bell , 1970, 465
P.2d 118, 171 Colo. 27.
