I sat in on one hearing for a bill that would remove the mandatory helmet use for motorcyclists. And one argument that the motorcyclists used was that helmets would be just as useful for motorists in cars in preventing head trauma and death. It was funny as heck listening to the lady from the head trauma group trying to um and ah her way out of why helmets are not required for car drivers when there would be such a huge benefit for motorists to wear helmets.
It's just sad that we live in a dual standard world.
