[Blackshear]

Heads don't really kinda sorta have a point either, I fail to see your problem

Edit: Yeah that was a lot funnier in my head...

You were the one that had the problem with my lack of subtlety, I dont have a problem at all, except maybe not enough head

I wore a helmet before they were compulsory, so I guess i'd wear one now if they weren't. Mostly. But I've never agreed with making them mandatory. Nor seat belts.

[awayatc]

There mad! I value my lifew too much not to wear a helmet.

Relax......It is not that they want to make it illegal to wear a helmet........

So they are they also going to make sucicide legal as well?

I suppose you mean suicide....?
And what are they gonna do if somebody commits "illegal"suicide?
Give Them a ticket?.......

[Strike]

Id totally wear a helmet regardless of Law, its kinda of a no brainer for riding in aucks traffic..... riding without i may very well end up a no brainer....

[popelli]

poorly worded poll designed to scew results towards nanny state helmet laws

would vote if it had more appropriately worded options

Bring them back and lockem up for life in a bubble-wrap room

Well, I would expect a conscientious cop, like our Mr Scumdog, to go after them and arrest them.

Everything else aside... have you guys ever had a large bug (bumblebee for example) fly into your face?

That's reason enough for me to wear a full face. Safety stuff's a bonus.

Yeah, I'm with MDU on this one. Over the Christmas break I was able to ride free on forestry roads without a helmet. Frankly, the bugs were a bit of a pain, but what really annoyed me was the velocity of air-movement, above about 70Ks which caused my eyes to water, constantly.

However, that's just me relating a particular circumstance.

On the one hand there was a personal requirement to revert to using my helmet, for no other reason than personal comfort. On the other hand society has no authority to compel me to protect myself.

Successive governments, world-wide, have sought to impose their will on the freedom of the individual. As John Stuart Mill asserted, '...Over his own mind and body, the rights of the individual are sovereign.'

BRONZ were opposing the compulsory helmet law in the 80's as well.

Reccon most of the time I'd continue to wear the bash hat

But it would be nice to have the choice...

all new houses shall be wired up for 12 volts power.
since 220 volts can kill ya.....

Also no more multistory dwellings,
since falling of stairs can kill you to....

It shall also become illegal to spend any time in a bed,
since that's where 93.0789% of the population died last year......
(according to a coleman mustard poll..)
