"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.
