Efforts to Pass New Helmet Laws Intensifies

Here's an article from USA Today stating that eight states are making an aggressive push to force a lid on a biker's noggin...

Interestingly, the article cites the motorcycle crash of football quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as one of the inspirations for this effort...

Harsha said the push for tighter laws also is inspired by Roethlisberger, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback who broke facial bones when his motorcycle collided with a car last June. Roethlisberger wasn't wearing a helmet.
How little did they forget that Ben opted not to become a poster-boy for helmet laws. He was actually quoted as saying that wearing a helmet should remain a choice, and not a requirement.

  • If we don't all stand up to this BS, we'll wake up one day to find government instituted exercise programs and calorie intake limits...to fight obesity, the #2 killer in America. We're losing our freedoms, one freedom at a time.
