anything that takes you concentration of the road for 1/10th of a second, because you dont have a helmet on.

 

Not everyone wears a full-face helmet nor is that a difference within the law in question. Full-face helmets are fairly new and primarily worn by sportbike riders ONLY. You point is fairly mute.

Besides, eyewear would be required and would serve the purpose you mention.

 

and most people that wear no helmet do not wear "proper" eye wear. point is very valid...

like i said assinine.... if you think the only reason for a helmet is like a seat belt... ie... only has a place/use during the accident , then you need help

 

Nope. Now you're classifying. This has nothing to do with those idiots who choose to break the law and wear crappy eyewear. Proper eyewear is proper eyewear. If you're wearing a DOT open face helmet and proper eyewear, currently you're legal. Now, take the open face helmet off and there is absolutley no difference in performance.... hense your mute point.

I'm not sure of the stats but anyone who wears open face helmets seem to have no problem... and neither does the police / law makers. This comes down to making it manditory to cover your squash. Same as covering your belly w/ a belt.... neither effect operation but both COULD possibly effect the outcome of an accident.

not classifying anything.. generalizing that most idiots that make the poor decision to not wear a helmet.. wear nothing at all... and its a fact that a better riders also tend to be better dressed... boots gloves helmet etc.. its tied in to competence and confidence... having an impact yet again on performance...

 

and if your arguement is "fullface helmets increase rider awareness" then you may be right but that point has nothing to do with the thread.

 

and its moot btw...

 

sure it does... wearing a helmet cuts out certain chance/type of accident that may occur because of not wearing... be it the motorcylist or a cager.... i.e.. bad judgement, because of less awarness or a non helmet distraction whatever.. causes a lapse in judgement.. and you get on the brakes or swerve..., now you dont even go down.. but someone else may have dodged you, and ended up off the road or in minor/major fender bender..

 

so now you're saying all open face helmets should be illegal?

 

well for one.. yes openface helmets are f-n retarded.. whats the point of stoping the brain matter from oozing out the top if its just gonna come out the front....

 

lol

 

lets look at the majority of people that wear open face helmets...

cruise bike riders.... well drivers i guess.. because you cant reall ride one of those things...

and pretty boy posers with their sportbikes and faces just to damn pretty to be hidden behind a full helmet...

yeah i dont see either of them getting into accidents that affect only them....

 

Those idiots you're talking about don't belong on bikes to begin with and the difference of a helmet sure isn't going to help them. There are tons of people who drive cars in the same position.... they just don't belong on the road.

 

hey.. no helmet wearing people may only be one or two more bad choices away from being one of those idiots

 

Correct, but at least they have a choice. You just keep backin me up

Gotta love this place called the USofA

 

c'mon now that crying about choice **** is childish..
why dont we all drive home on the left side of the road today to... im sure we can do it and keep the majority of the cars from hitting us

and why cant i practice with my firearm in my livingroom... im using pre fragged bullets... it aint gonna hurt noone...

guns kill people...

lol

 

u're just lookin to up your post count today

 

yes and no...
long boring day..
but i stand by it all

 

Enough already. Damn.

 

listen princess.... we decide, you listen
