Oh, yeah, and seat belts and helmets definitely NOT required. (And you’ll be ridiculed if you DO have them, in fact!)
LOL!!! The funny thing is I fight those who propose those requirements all the time even though I don't ride a motor cycle, thus don't need a helmet, and wear my seatbelt all the time. Wearing a seatbelt was part of learning how to drive, back in the mid 70's when there was no such thing as a seat belt law anywhere in the US.
Just because that's what I do doesn't mean I am in favor of forcing anyone else to do it.
