I'm not catchin' what you're pitchin', here. Check out the statistics (which I referenced earlier) about accidents involving cars and motorcycles. It's rarely the motorcycle driver's fault.

What I am saying is when a motorcycle is involved in an accident the injuries are, on average, far worse than that of passengers in a car type vehicle.

Ohhhh ... so you're saying that if the government cared about the safety of us citizens, then motorcycles wouldn't even be legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they cared about injuries on the highway. Personally, I’m fine with motorcycles on the road. What i am saying is the seatbelt law is nothing more than a money grab by the government. Once someone is 18, and they don’t want to wear a seatbelt, that should be their choice. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO I actually agree with you, there. Not wearing a seatbelt only puts one person at risk ... the person who chooses to not wear one. Not wearing a seatbelt doesn't affect anyone else on the road. I do agree that children should be required to wear them by law (as I think you do, too, based on your 18 qualification). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO I 100% agree that adults should be able to make their own choices, but I don’t want my insurance costs to go up a dime because of people who are stupid. How do we walk that tightrope?
