Of those deaths 90% were caused by head injuries. In that same year there were 3,661 motorcycle fatalities. Wouldn't a heck of a lot more lives be saved if automobile drivers wore helmets??... or for that matter why isn't someone pushing for legislation to require all licensed drivers auto or motorcycle to wear helmets??
Knowing that wearing a helmet in an automobile would save a lot of lives would you be for it?? If not why??
I ride and wear a helmet, not all the time but many times and anyone would be an idiot to say that helmets do not help in low speed crashes. However I feel that is my decision whether to wear one or not and not the governments. I am sick of "big brother" trying to save me from myself. When does government intervention end??...

That is the reason why no matter where I am I do not wear a seatbelt whether in NY, NH or anywhere else.
