Swinney needs help to enforce ‘Helmet Law’

Though he was joking, Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables thinks they might have to have a “Swinney Law” when it comes to football players driving mopeds.

Venables would like to see Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney force his players who drive a motorcycle or moped to wear a helmet. This comes after freshman defensive end Xavier Kelly was involved in an accident last Wednesday night in Clemson while driving his moped.

However, Swinney says he might need some help from the state of South Carolina to enforce such a rule. South Carolina and Florida are the only two states that do not enforce a helmet law when it comes to driving a motorcycle or moped.
