“”Rate went DOWN when helmets were not required.”
True. But the article didn’t indicate if helmets were worn or not in the accidents. “
True again. What the soft message of the article really is: laws do not make us safer, individuals doing the right thing and being responsible for their own actions is what makes us safer.
We do not need a nanny state.
Just for the record, I wear a helmet, not because the state tells me to, but because I believe I get some protection from it. You and I should be free to make our own decisions, and we should live with the consequences of those decisions.
