If a law went into effect tomorrow that mandated helmets in every state, by

I agree with you on this - it wouldn't make a whit of difference.

My argument is that the same logic behind no helmet laws should also
be applied to seat belts - personal choice.

And the odd thing is that the "safety" statistics for seat belt use
being more safe than not is highly fabricated and, frankly, false.


Every wreck I have been in I have seen seatbelts keep folks in place,
in the vehicle and away from the windows.. As a wrecker driver for
many years, the only ejections I ever saw were folks with no belts
on...
