I agree with you Moe. Here in NC, helmets are mandatory so you don't read that as much when a local crash is reported. Sometimes the article will just say that the rider was wearing a helmet, as if that's even an option around here. If it's a South Carolina crash and the rider wasn't wearing a helmet, that will always be mentioned in the neews. Same with seatbelts when a car crash is reported, especially when a fatality is invovled.
