This is almost as asinine as the Florida laws requiring seat belts be used in cars while allowing motorcycle riders to be helmetless.
Funny thing to me the riders most vocal about helmetless riding are generally the ones a nicely painted, full face helmet would do the most to improve their appearance.
How anyone can ride, be hit in the cheek a few times with Japanese Beetles, sprayed in the head with gravel from the road shoulder when a truck weaves ahead, catch a half pound of gnats in their teeth on an evening ride, etc and not WANT to wear a helmet is a sign of a severe mental defect.

With all due respect to a fellow Freeper......
Who are you to sit in judgement?
You used the word "assinine" and the phrase, "severe mental defect", to describe those that choose not to wear a helmet.
I would use that same word and phrase to describe your outlook on the issue.
Again, who are you to pass judgement?
No, I do not ride a scooter. Used to, long time ago.
I am real curious now........
How do you feel about me owning a gun?
How do you feel about me owning and driving not one, but TWO - SUV's?
Your post has all the taste of the typical Liberal crap - "I don't like it, therefore it is wrong - what you, as an individual wants to do matters not."
It seems to me Florida is about LESS GOVERNMENT REGULATION.
What you say is that any sane person has numerous reasons to wear a helmet, let logic dictate, not the government.
The seat belt issue is tied to federal funds for highways.
I will wear the seat belt if I'm a passenger in any vehicle but as a driver I don't.
