Default Yet Another Tragic Case......

There is, in fact, a national motorcycle helmet law in
effect already. It only applies to people with something worth
protecting.


Please provide a cite.

A while back the Fed refused money for road system maintenance if the
state did not have a helmet law .... similar to the 55 mph speed limit
of the 70's. But that is changing.

Every year more states are changing the law or modifying it based on
real data.
Florida is a good example and reflects some common sense. There *is* a
helmet law, but you are not required to wear one if over 21 years of age
and can prove that you have at least some minimum amount of personal
health insurance.

There are more states that riding without a helmet is legal today than
there were 20 years ago.

More regression.



Why? If some moron wants to ride a motorcycle without a helmet, who
cares? If you're stupid enough to think you're immune to head injuries,
the gene pool is better off without you. Give this 200 years and the 54%
might shrink a bit.


To quote a famous NG participate .....

"Damn straight!"
