[QUOTE=Irulan]there are lots of laws. but are cops going to sit around the skate park and write no helment tickets, or are they going to look for criminals. In this town, forget the enforcement. Even with laws, the local paper still regularlary does recreation shots without helmets.

Doesn't that just frost your cookies? I see red when I see those pictures! It's completely irresponsible for them to print those!!

yeah, in BC there's a helmet law too. and we have bicycle cops. and I've seen bicycle cops ride right past riders not wearing helmets and not even say something, let alone issue a ticket. and they didn't look like they were in a hurry chasing criminals. it's a shame it's not enforced.

fact is, though, we need parents doing their jobs.

is there enough room on this soapbox for all of us?

namaste,
