He’s not asking why motorcycles as a whole are legal. He’s asking why it’s legal to ride one without a seatbelt. ETA: If he is asking why motorcycles aren’t illegal that’s and even dumber question than why they don’t have seatbelts.





That's 3 complete whiffs. Almost impressive in a retarded sort of way.


He's asking why seatbelts are mandatory in cars.

It shouldn’t be illegal to ride without a seat belt, but it should be allowed as evidence in any trial for damages if you were or weren’t wearing one.


Bingo, allow freedom and demand responsibility.

Never thought about the motorcycle angle, but what about a bus? Specifically a school bus potentially carrying very young kids (6-7?)

Why are there helmet laws for motorcyclists and not for car drivers?

This was lobbied years ago under the guise of saving lives. The truth is that the insurance companies saw this as a way of not paying out for life insurance. Wear it and probably survive, don't wear it and a lot of insurance companies don't have to pay. Also there's more cars than MC on the road.


Isn’t it law in LA that you can’t present whether one was wearing a seat belt or not in a civil, injury case?

Even more ridiculous is how hard it is to find a good carseat for a motorcycle

Because lobbyists for the insurance industry made sure the proper people got their "campaign donations".

Motorcycles are relatively cheap to insure. They don't cause much damage when they hit things.


Well except for the rider. Almost always turns out bad for them…

You don't wear a seatbelt on a school bus or a passenger bus.
