Mine included. And I wouldn't think of riding my motorcycle without a
helmet.
But it should be my decision, not forced on me.


Well, If I did not have to buy auto insurance to protect me AND the other
guy I would say the helmet should be optional also. But, if you do not wear
it and are insured and file a claim for a head injury we all have to help
pay for your rehab. Insurance premiums are high but are not a wash when
the cost of your head injury goes in to the hundreds of thousands of
dollars. The other policy holders have to pitch in then with higher
premiums.



Another of my "liberal" opinions :-).

You know, you would be a lot safer in a car accident if you were
wearing a helmet, too...
