The Michigan House has passed a bill that would let motorcycle riders 21 and older travel without helmets, despite the threat of a veto from Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

Granholm has vetoed similar legislation twice in the past few years.

A spokeswoman said Thursday that Granholm supports Michigan's current law, which requires motorcycle riders to wear helmets.

The Democratic governor has said she has concerns about safety and what would happen to insurance costs if the mandatory helmet law were repealed.

The Democrat-led House on Thursday passed a bill that would repeal the helmet law on a 63-46 vote. The bill now goes to the Republican-led Senate.

We want to know what you think about this.

Should motorcycle riders 21 and older in Michigan be able to ride without helmets?
