The problem is the division it makes in our country. Why do they get special treatment. In order to keep it all good they should have just made helmets optional. Easy as pie. I would not wear one and don't anytime I'm in a no helmet state. But don't give one religion special treatment

There should be freedom of choice for everyone. Not just one complaining group. I got to hand it to them though, they really fought to get it. The rest of us just laid down and got walked on in the 1970s when they became universally mandatory.

Your's is the only reply I could find that hits the target.
We people have been allowing our "FREEDOM!" to be easily stolen for a long time by the canadian socialist state.
We just ignore these infringements until the big one comes, at which time there will be great tribulation.
William Wallace would roll in his grave and spit if he would see the results of the recent Scotish vote for independence. If he could have voted, I expect he would have considered the effect on his pension, and voted no. NOT!!! So much for Braveheart! ARRRRRRRGH!
Currently, theTCP (Trudeau Communist Party) are working hard to disarm the citizens, supposedly to protect us from ourselves. We know better. It's to proctect a corrupt government from its citizens.
I suppose pencils write books and guns kill people.
I enjoyed riding through the helmet choice states with nothing more than a bandana on my pumpkin. What an exhilarating time. Ban convertibles! FREEEEEDOM!!!
Thank you for listening to my opinions🌞👍

I'd think a turban on a riders head would blow off, or unwind at highway speeds .

Remember Gazoo on the Flintstones. I think turbins look like Gazoo's head.
That aside, I think 'no helmets' could instead lower expenses on the medical system. Increasing the number of deaths could mean less strain on the system. There should be no exceptions to the helmet laws for any reason.

Big Brother doesn't let us do anything anymore. We should all have the choice.
