Oops, I just came back from Texas, and they now have no helmet law. It all supports the Californian conclusion that
"you can't legislate
good
sense."
No, but it doesn't stop the government from trying.
It's worth noting, however, that the U.S. is
about the only
industrialized
country in the world that bends over as far as it
does to protect
those who are
STUPID while doing absolutely nothing to protect
the rest of us from
them.
Uh, you've obviously never lived in Australia.
In all States it is illegal to ride a motorcycle without an approved
crash helmet. $200 on the spot fine.(Varies from state to state) Used to have it and then didn't, but once did
before that and will probably
flip and then flop back once again.
Yeap, that's politics!
