Precisely why there shouldn't be any mandatory motorcycle helmet laws.

Speaking of which, that's the avenue you may be facing if they get rid of airbags. According to the NHTSA, approximately 50% of all auto fatalities are due to head injuries. The same fools that believe all motorcyclists should have to wear a helmet can't be that far behind in mandating helmets for cars. Well, unless they are just preaching out of the side of their necks, and just like picking on motorcycle riders, but I can't imaging anyone would be like that.



Good thread.

Take care,
