It was my first time to drive a motorcycle. I was so excited because it seems to be so fun to be on a motorcycle without knowing the rules in driving a motorcyle. So, I got caught and I showed the policeman my driver's license(which is new). He asked me why am I not wearing any helmet so I told him that I do not have any and he told me that I commited two violations. 1. Not wearing a helmet and 2. my driver's license do not include driving a motorcycle. I clearly do not know that. I was so nervous that the color of my face turned into a pale white. I feel like I am going to pass out. He even told me to call my father who is working at the Presidential Office, Malacanang. I was so scared because I know he won't let me drive again if he knew that I got caught. But then, I was just so lucky that the policeman let me go without even calling my father and taking my license away. Lesson of the story, never ever drive a motorcycle without a helmet. It was really a not so good experience but wonderful in a sort of way because in that experience I have learned a simple yet helpful lesson in life. Drive safe mylotters!

there are a few states that do not require a helmet. ohio is one of them. even if you didn't know the laws, why would you want to drive a motorcycle with out a helmet. especally if it was your first time. that is all the more reason to wear a helmet. if you wreck, you could be killed. that is crazy

actually its not stupid because wearing a helmet is just a waste of money and it is not comfortable to wear. It was my first time but I am professsional in driving a motorcyle or any kind of vehicle. sorry to disappoint you.

Actually I am the driver of the motorcycle. I am the passenger at the back and I am the one who doesn't wear a helmet. Then we were stop by a police and said why i dont wear helmet instead i wear only a cap. we just said that i have a wound on my head and it will gonna be swell if i wear a helmet. I think my companion gave the police money so that his drivers license will never be taken.

be careful and motorcycles do not have a good record here.
