Defensive?  Not at all.  Just wanted to clarify what you meant since
you were unclear as you simply stated
"Too many stupid drivers on the road for me to feel safe enough without
a helmut.  I have class 4, 5, and 6 licences by the way and have been
riding since I was 8. "
No, No., helmets for all.  IT would save lives and money.  Just using
the same argument used for bicycle helmets.  Why would you only mandate
helmets for kids in cars?
So why take a chance in a car, if you don't on a bike?  Don't get me
wrong, I think you should have the choice as you do with cars now.  No
law prohibits you from wearing in in a car.
