Who do you think would have ended up paying for his care for the rest of his life if the accident

resulted in his becoming a vegetable? Do you really think that he would have been able to pay for it if he would have ended up in the hospital for months and rehab for months after that? Do you know how it effects the driver and passengers involved in an accident with a motorcycle? How it effects the witnesses? I am good with a helmet law.
If they can get insurance that would cover those possibilities then it is their business and their business only.

How so? He wasn't demanding the right to survive crashes when only a helmet makes that possible.

The same people who pay for everyone else whose actions render them vegetables.

Sorry, as an advocate of civil rights (which especially includes minorities) I oppose anarchy.

So my increased ease of hearing/seeing vehicles and other hazards isn't worth $1200.

I understand the pov, I had a BF who felt that same way. It's still much like childish defiance.

In part it's a matter of principle, but if we really want to analyze it there's some deeper validity

Hence why your "I wouldn't wear a seatbelt in the back seat" comment didn't make a lot of sense

Depends on whether the driver, rather than the law, is the one insisting.

It's more a comfort issue than anything else; it's not solely one.

Fine as far as it goes, but public/private only matters to the extent others are affected.

Apparently so; "completely anarchy as long as its regulated to one's body" sounds nonsensical to me.

So do not smoking, eating right and regular exercise, but we haven't made them mandatory.
