Yeah, sounds like Ray was doing all that, and got hit. I understand his point. I guess I’m just maybe “hyper-aware”, in my case. I *always* expect the driver doesn’t see me and is going to hit me.
as far as helmets go, I always wear mine. I always did on my motorcycle too, and I’ve been riding motorcycles since the ripe old age of 4. As far as the laws go, however, I don’t like laws that tell people how to live (or die). I get that healthcare costs are driven up by un-insured (or even insured) people who don’t protect themselves and end up in accidents, costing taxpayers a lot of money. I just still don’t like laws telling me what to do. So, toss my vote in the “wear one, but don’t make me” ring.
