Its the govt telling us how we need to live our lives. In order to get federal aid to do road construction the state HAS to have a seat belt law in place.

With vehicles they can do tests to see the effects of an accident when people wear their seatbelts and when they dont. I dont know of any tests to determine the effects of wearing a helmet or not. Because many of the bad accidents with motorcycles have more than 1 type of injury.

When my state passes a helmet law, that is the day I sell my motorcycle. I dont mind wearing a helmut on a long trip on the highways, but when I am just cruising the local city (less than 50k pop) I dont wear mine.
