In my state you must wear a helmet & you must have insurance. I lived a biker lifestyle most of my life & I can tell you that most accidents I lost friends in were not their fault. They were hit by so called fine upstanding people. And by people who prolly thought it was ok to cut that biker off because he or she didn’t conform to their way of thinking. Some of those fine people were so drunk they even dragged their bodies for a few miles. I’ve seen enough & I know the life & resent you calling their freedom a fraud. I resent paying for drunken jerks that kill people & end up in jail etc. Yeah we all have resentments but when we let laws be made that force us to wear helmets, seat belts , not eat certain foods etc, etc then we are losing more of our freedom each day. I see it very clearly. I am old enough to make the choice to decide what is best for me. Just as I am sure you are. FYI most bikers I know are insured. I don’t know what states don’t have mandatory insurance laws. If there are any then they ought to make it mandatory IMO.
Very well said.
I was riding in a car (without a seat belt on) and witnessed an accident. We stopped and the woman had not been wearing her seat belt. Her head was gashed open, tons of blood, broken jaw and teeth. She permanently has speech issues and deep scars on her face. I don't think she ever went back to work. Like I said, I hate mandatory anything laws. But I've worn my seat belt ever since.
You’re wasting your time arguing with a commie.
