Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to make you think that the government needs to require helmet use. I JUST THINK THAT SMART PEOPLE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEMSELVES, and they don't impose the results of their bad decisions on others. It's really just stupid to have a safety device available and to not take advantage of it (like a light or a helmet). Stupid people make their problems the problems of others out of some blind theory that it's their "right" to do so. Sure, it's your right to make stupid decisions. It's also your right to own the consequences of your stupid decisions yourself.
