Surely I need not list them all. It is not the position of government to protect me from myself.<br />It is also my understanding the new law, if passed, will still require motorcycle enthusiasts to wear a helmet on Missouri Interstate highways. This proposal makes absolutely no sense at all. What route(s) would we take to other states from our homes? The vast majority of motorcycle accidents do not occur on highways. The number one killer of motorcycle enthusiasts is the motorist turning left at an intersection cutting off the motorcyclist. Let us also not forget the number one reason for automobile fatalities – Head Injuries! So, should the state require all motorists to wear a helmet? Of course not; that would be equally ridiculous. <br />The problem is the motorist who sadly states, “I did not see him”. Missouri should direct its efforts toward public awareness in lieu of punishing us enthusiasts. Let us also not forget, Missouri is bordered on all sides by helmet-free states and is one of approximately 20 states interfering in private lives.<br />I, along with many others I know, voted you in hoping common sense would prevail.<br />Sincerely,<br />John PonzoUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470018191031579695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980269.post-76215641020695123712009-05-22T16:02:21.677-05:002009-05-22T16:02:21.677-05:00I called the governors office today to encourage h...I called the governors office today to encourage him to veto this bill. I agree if we don't have a helmet law, then why do we need a seat belt law? I think it is being a hypocrite and maybe it's two different things but its all about safety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
