Now I don't necessarily agree with mandated seat belt use, but I can understand the financial logic behind it. It should be a choice really. If you want to ride without a helmet or seatbelt that's fine, but you should automatically be a DNR and a whole body donor.  |
You do make a good point with this that I had not considered. My insurance prices are crazy and me and my family are in perfect health and all under 30. The financial logic behind this mandate makes sense but we are allowing a precedent to be set that is a bit scary.
