kinda offtopic, but I really object to lumping seatbelt laws and helmet laws together. mandatory seatbelt use is as much for the safety of people outside the vehicle as those within it. unrestrained human bodies can become dangerous projectiles in an accident. mandatory helmet laws are dumb nanny stuff. if someone wants to split their skull on a curb, it's their own business. riding a bike/scooter at low speeds is not particularly risky anyway, and such laws add friction to a healthy and environmentally friendly means of transportation.
