Answer 5

Well they should at least pull you over and tell you. I'm not really sure about tickets.  

Answer 6

PA law says children under 12 must wear helmets when riding a bike as driver or passenger. Big Wheels are excluded.  If found not wearing a helmet, the fine is $25 but it will be waived if the person buys a helmet. If you are 15 the law does not apply to you.  Below is a cutesy little brochure I found online.
