Mike Hays of Nolensville, TN, a volunteer lobbyist for Tennssee ABATE, writes a commentary about the state's repeal of the helmet law, and says that cagers suffer 12 times more head injuries than bikers...

Since Tennessee head injury rates in automobiles are more than 12 times higher than that for motorcycles, will we all be wearing helmets in automobiles soon? If the folks who proclaim "if we can just save one life" have their way, it's possible.

This is a point that I've been making on several biker forums across the Internet.

This point was made because people who support helmet laws claim that motorcycle accident victims are a burden on public healthcare. Seems like the bigger burden is on cagers.
