Well this demonstrates the cognitive dissonance of our modern political system. On the one hand we have to accept that motorcycles are both inherently very deadly and accept the legality of their use. Not only that but in most jurisdictions it's legal to ride without a helmet. On the other hand, seat belt fines are perfectly acceptable and only anarchist weirdos would be opposed to them. We also have to be mad at cops for stopping people and questioning them, event though that is the only way to enforce seat belt laws.
- runarberg 3y agoI think the US is kind of unique when it comes to motorcycle safety laws (or rather the lack of them) and still 18 states + DC require helmets for all riders. Most states have some age requirements, and only three states have no helmet laws for motorcycles. Every country in Europe requires a helmet, so does Canada and Mexico.
