Helmet laws are really the perfect analogy of our times. No helmet has ever saved any one from a traumatic brain injury nor will one that can ever be invented. The way helmet laws save lives is by keeping mama’s 15 year old off the back seat of his inexperienced 16 year old buddy. Every mother knows this. So we have put the police in the position of babysitter.
Quickly re-read that asinine statement and then decide whether or not you want your name connected to it.....
the reason that football players wear helmets is to help them prevent injuries....100%, nope ...but basically very effective...If you get in your 6,000 pound tank called an SUV, take your kids along, it is the law that you have them strapped down and secured in safety seats....you must also be strapped in a shoulder harness in your seat as must all passengers in said vehicle....
However, if you get out of that vehicle and climb on a damned 2 wheel powered bicycle, you need no seat belt, no helmet, and you can legally sit your 6 year old daughter, with no protective gear, behind you and drive 75 miles per hour on the expressway....BRILLIANT!!!
