Ok, so its against your religion to wear a helmet?
Fair enough, its against the law to not wear a helmet when riding a bike. So dont ride the thing then!

Your religion should not make you excempt from the law.
I dare say, for the most part, its only going to affect them and thier chances of living.

It's not like you guys are going to lose anything if they don't wear helmets.

I would have no problem abolishing the helmet laws, so long as doctors and hospitals were allowed to refuse service to anyone who doesn't have private insurance.

The law is that you must wear a helmet unless you are a Sikh wearing a turban. If they ride a motorbike wearing a turban, they are obeying the law. |

Religion shouldnt give you special privelages over other people.

Ditto. Don't leave the driveway without one, I'm not gonna kill me, It's the guy in the car next to me wants me to die. Note; I still have the helmet saved my head. Just a reminder. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
