Re: “LETTER: helmets vs. no helmets”
If His Honor [Rick Gray] is so adamant about being opposed to the mandatory helmet law claiming it is a matter of choice, then why is he not also opposed to the seat belt law?
If I’m riding a motorcycle I have very little protection of any kind. When I’m riding in an enclosed vehicle I am protected by a virtual steel cage.
However, when I am in an enclosed vehicle I am required by law to wear a seat belt for my own protection. Why?
Perhaps the mayor would like to explain the differences! I was once a bike rider myself and thankfully I wore a helmet. It saved my life.
