I'm guessing you don't favor the helmet law either.

helmets are not part of the vehicle, helmets are attire to be worn.

Legally speaking a seperate set of legal dynamics.

IF that is the case, per NHTSA there are more head injuries in automobiles. Along the nanny-nazi reasoning, people in automobiles must wear helmets too.

Nope, we need Organ Donors and we need to keep the Gene Pool naturally weeded.

I don't like any "nanny" law

Interesting you choose to sidestep the point. Mandatory seatbelt laws are illegal -but I gather you have no problem with that. You do, instead, seem quite pleased with the prospect of forcing others to do what you feel is best for them. Speaking of helmets and the wearing thererof; I notice with no little amusement that whether or not anyone chooses to wear a helmet, I have yet to see any seatbelts installed in any make or model of motorcycles manufactured, past or present. So, motoring about in a cage surrounded by glass and steel is so dangereous that everyone should be forced at gunpoint to wear a seatbelt -but no helmet- to save them from harm, but riding My scoot with only the clothes I freely choose to wear is so much safer that I should be forced at gunpoint for My own protection to wear a brainbucket (helmet) -but no seatbelt. Quite sensible, yes.

Incidentally, I rode a bicycle for over thirty-five years without a helmet of any kind (unlike the feel-good laws of today), and I am still alive. Although I gather from the likes of you that since I did so I am now deceased.

Not Bloody Likely.

Correctomundo, chief!

Seat belts, helmets, hot balloons that go off in your face may or may not be a good idea, but, they are terrible law!
