and isn't a little too ironic... don't ya think?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
they should be able to choose, same with seatbelts
 
I can choose to not put it on and it should be my choice. When i drive my 73 dart i choose 100% of the time, i dont put on my chest belt. only lap. always and will always. It should be my choice.

ur opinion is it should be mandatory. i disagree.

I agree. Why would my personal safety be someone else's decision or concern anyway? I always wear my helmet and seatbelt, but it isn't because I'm afraid of a ticket, it's because I feel it is important ( and I don't like bug guts on my face). You can just as easily die from falling down the front steps and hitting your head. Maybe we should make it a law that everyone needs to wear bicycle helmets outside the house?
 
Not ironic at all. Poor word, gets abused so much.

What I think a lot of people don't understand with this story is if you ask the people who are against helmets, this won't change their mind. Hell, if you could somehow ask the guy who just died he'd probably still be against helmets. They know death is more likely. It isn't like they are arguing that it isn't safer to wear a helmet. They just want the right to choose possible death.

It's not only for your personal safety. It's for others as well. When you got ejected from your car into the other car, you could hurt or kill other party. That's the reason why they don't require to wear helmet when you're outside your house. You could fall and hit your head, and nobody cares, as long as you hit your head.
 
As mentioned seat belt safety is more about others then yourself. I chose for you not to multiple the accident or waste money cleaning you off the pavement
 
i'm for seat belt and helmet laws

i don't need to see brains or bodies thrown from a car on my commute. it's not pretty, trust me
 
First, seatbelts are about money under the farce of personal safety. Not others. I have seen some nasty accidents and zero have had someone ejected into someone elses car. Period. Can it happen? Yeah but highley unlikly. Can u get struck by lighting walking out side? Yep. Should that be outlawed? Do seatbelts sometimes save lives? Yep. Do they cost lives? Sometimes. Do u hurt others if ur not wearing them? No.... But u give the nanny state money.....

Second, helmets help with low speed only. Any speed they dont do squat. Ask the guy I picked up off the road. U cant cause his skull is in pieces. Ps he hit the other car and flew into the windshield up high. Girl inside walked away with a mere scratch.
