Not about wearing or not wearing a helmet.
We could start discussing the the improved safety of a 5 point car seat belt over a 3 point seat beltĀ :pokefun
I just find all the good kit discussions ironic when you take a step back from them and view them from a wider road safety view point.
Do you think that if motorcycles did not already exist, and were a new invention.
A vehicle with so little protection for it's operator and inherent stability issues would be allowed on public roads.

I[/size]f you don't fasten a seat belt, or put a helmet, you could get killed from a minor crash. That's why they're obligatory. You can use better (like the 5 point seat belt etc) if you like, but the law obliges you to use the minimum required by a standard at least.[size=x-small]
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
