I really hope that when the legislature sits this fall that they make wearing a helmet LAW.

[crushd]

just by making a law won't make people wear helmets (example: who has ever exceeded the speed limit?) People need to take some accountability for themselves and do the right thing.

[plumbum]

there are ALOT of people who dont have common sense and you have to make it law so you can at least force them by way of pocketbook to use common sense.

Heard on the radio yesterday 2 more dead quadders, 1 from Edson and 1 from Mayorthorpe. Don't know the details.

So you think your idea of common sense should be forced upon people? People aren't forced to wear helmets in the U.S. when riding a bike on the highway. That's just what this country needs, more laws pushed by people who think that their idea of common sense is right and force their views down people's throats via legislation and fines. I wear a helmet because I think it's a good idea most of the time. There are times that I don't. I don't think I need you or your brethren to be telling me how to protect myself. And don't give me that argument about health care costs to society, etc, if you're going to use that argument, then mountain climbing, hang gliding, and other such sports better be banned also! You really get off on telling other people how to live their lives? Pretty self-righteous!

alright i men no offense but I am tired of you pickin on plum. he IS NOT A FREAKING TERRORIST! and his idea of common sense is the right thing! i dont like stripping peoples freedom and rights as much as the next guy but as we whine and bicker about this chit and that chit the BODY COUNT is growing. if your gunna be this defensive i suggest you go over to the dead quadders familys and tell them exactly what you think!

Obviously common sense isn't so common!

I personally hate to see laws being implemented to control stupidity. Enforce the ones that exist already. Insurance , Registration, with licence no's on rear of off-road vehicles. Parents who let young kids ride without helmets etc. should be kicked in the crotch. Sure some of these young uns can ride larger quads, s--t happens, these quads are over 600 lbs. Kids like to giver and full speed ahead, everything's fine until the oh oh part. If you don't like your kids put them on 500cc plus quads. If only common sense was common.


We don't need more laws, Stupidity will cull the herd.
