Motorcycle helmet laws have nothing to do with "control" but everything to do with "highway sanitation".

It's kind of like telling farmers they have to fence along public right away and not let their cows wander.

Or the use of a public dog catcher to catch strays before they turn into road kill and bloat up spraying the neighborhood with puss and stuff.

I do understand why cyclists would rather let the animals just blow up, but that's not the way I ride.

Whenever a government body mandates something it is about control just by that very action. I'm not a rider but if I were I would wear a helmet but that decision should be the individual's.

Sanitation? First time I've ever heard that argument. I'm sure if I ask a rider about why they must wear a helmet, they will answer right away with "because of sanitation". hmmmmm

Just in case you missed this unintentional guffaw:

“spraying the neighborhood with puss and stuff.”

The mental image is priceless.
