Mandatory Helmet Law

[Cassandra_Cain]

So, all of you against mandatory helmet laws: would you sign a legal document waiving all rights to publicly funded money for any costs that are the result of injury due to lack of helmet or seatbelt? Just curious.

Yes I would sign such a document. Like I said before, I do always ride with a helmet, wear a seatbelt - but if something compelled me to do otherwise, then I'd have no problem waiving those rights.

Back to public money's though - this government gives billions away to corporations in corporate welfare/handouts/kickbacks - just think halliburton, the oil companies, the auto makers, etc. That is also our money - your money. It also spends a great deal of that same money on things that are anti-bike/pedestrian. Finally, it creates loopholes for destruction of the environment - like classifying the hummer (not my green hummer ) in a different category as regular cars/trucks so some prat can drive around getting 5mpg. Why should I pay for that?

I think the focus should be on things like that, which make up an astronomical cost, rather than a few cases of people on life support.
