[QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 681091, member: 16469"] I was following an RX-7 down the highway one day when it kicked up a rock the size of a golfball. It hit my helmet just above the shield. Suprised me and made my ears ring, but that was all. If I hadn't been wearing a helmet, I would have caused a major accident for the 7 or 8 cars behind me. I honestly don't mind if people want to go splatter themselves across the pavement, but when exercising that "freedom" creates a serious risk for me and/or my family, then I care. Ironically, I still don't like the government having to tell people to wear helmets, though. I used the think of the seatbealt laws as a useless infringment on my personal choice until I ended up going in the median to avoid an accident in front of me, slung the truck around a few times, and ended up avoiding some others that had also hit the median. If it weren't for having my seatbelt on, I would have been flung all over the cab and couldn't have been in a position to continue controlling the vehicle. For that reason I believe I owe it to other people to wear one to help keep me in control of my car. Kind of like the helmet thing...I don't care if people want to go headfirst through a windshield, but if they could have stayed in control of the car and not endangered me, then I care. [/QUOTE]
