Why do you need a headlight when you only ride in the daytime? What does
your license to drive have to do with anybody else?

Headlights don't have to be used during the day.

But you have to have a headlinght ON your bike, regardless. Just like you
have to have a helmet on your head, even though you're not having an
accident at the time.

Again, Jim, you're supporting a position that will lead to increased
mortality, increased head trauma and extended, expensive hospital stays, and
more trouble and expense for everyone. Motorcycles make up just over 1% of
the licensed vehicles but motorcycle accidents produce over 5% of the
hospitalizations due to motor vehicle accidents. In roughly half the states,
the people have said "enough."

But it's a political issue. If you want to argue for more death and more
tragic and debilitating injuries, that's your prerogative. You can write to
your state legislators or join an ABATE rally.
