I have been riding my bike without a helmet, and my Dad told me it is against the law in california. He said if you get caught you will get a mark on your driving record. it this true?

I am 15 right now, and i have ridden by tons of cops without a helmet and they didn't seem to mind, .

so is it against the law?

i know its for safety , and when i go on slippery and hilly terrain i always where a helmet, but when i go out for just a ride around the block or to the store i do not where my helmet?

so is it alright for me not to where my helmet?
 
I will stick to your final question, as you can Google California Law as easily as I can. You ask, "so is it alright for me not to wear my helmet?"

Your answer is: Don't be stupid, wear your helmet. Period.

What do you think you are doing trying to go against your Dad? As far as I am concerned HE is your law, do what he says.
