magley64 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 yes, your odds of survival go up with a helmet...No, that doesn't mean "there ought to be a law" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I wear a helmet everywhere. But I honestly want the ability to make an adult decision and if I decide to not wear it to go to the store and back, that's my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenTwelve Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 No thanks. I don't want my insurance raters sky-rocketing because people are too stupid to protect themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadTrainDriver Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 It's the insurance companies paying off the legislators that make the laws...plain and simple... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 No thanks. I don't want my insurance raters sky-rocketing because people are too stupid to protect themselves.well then let's outlaw motorcycles altogether, too dangerous, even with a helmet...

2Wheeler Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 More motorcycles on the road= more motorcycle accidents=more motorcycle deaths.There is no proof this has anything to do with helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Like most laws to "protect" the public from itself, its money related one way or another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan_Rider Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 More motorcycles on the road= more motorcycle accidents=more motorcycle deaths.There is no proof this has anything to do with helmets.Am I to understand that you think helmets make no difference in the survival rate of of those involved in motorcycle accidents?If that is what you are saying then you are very poorly informed.If that is not what you mean then please explain what you do mean because it seems like you are countering your own point.I personally could give a shit less if someone rides with or without a helmet. I have my preferance and don't push it on others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I push my preference on those that I care about, that doesn't mean I want to legislate it...I'll try my best to convince friends that a helmet is the way to go, especially if you're going to be on roads you're unfamiliar with, or in heavy traffic, or traveling at higher speeds...but i refuse to vote to take away other people's liberties.
