I agree, if you want to kill yourself by not having a helmet, go ahead.
However, if I have to help pay for your funeral, that is another story.  If
you are under age, under insurred, or broke, then my tax dollar pays.  If
you are injured and any of the above, I have to pay.  That I object to.
That, I think is the whole point to the helmet law.  These people are
irresponsible, not only to themselves, but to the whole socity.
