I say if you want to ride without a helmet you should be allowed to do so. Provided, of course, that when you slam your head against an immovable object you only get the medical treatment that you can pay for out of your own pocket.

Let's let Darwin's theory of evolution work out the rest.
 
Tell him to go to the U.S where some states don't have helmet laws. A helmet saved my life and I wouldn't go out on a bike without one. Especially with the driving nutters on the road.
 
"There are lots of deaths and brain injuries among motorcyclists wearing helmets right now," he argued in court on Friday. "If Ontario was serious about (addressing the danger) they would ban motorcycles."


Yep, I agree. You are much safer in a car, any car.
 
where do you draw the line?

Yep, I agree.

There are lots of deaths from car accidents too. Should we ban those as well?

As soon as we can live without them, they be gone.

The horse and buggy is long history. Cars will be too someday.
 
I just wish that everyone wore deodorant while wearing or not wearing their motorcycle helmet (or while driving a cab).

And would it kill everyone to bath at least once a week? With soap.
 
i am puzzeled by his claim that it is against his religion to remove his turban and he got a ticket in 2005 for riding without a helmut. well how did he get his license with out wearing a helmut.
 
You never see any of these guys lining up and arguing that they should be allowed to be firemen and wear a turbin. :rolleyes:
 
Yes, you have constitutional right to freedom of religion.

You do not have a constitutional right to ride a motorcycle.
 
question?
what would happen, with him/them getting insurance ??

or at last claiming it??

wouldn't it be sort of like not weaing a seat belt, voids your claim ?
.
 
why not just make a helmet look like a turban or make a turban out of fiberglass and classify it as a helmet?
 
Suppose he went out riding in a hurry and grabbed his gramps Depends by mistake.


Could people call him sh*thead???



There , got to that one before GB thought of it.:eek:


Take that bear!!!!!

The problem being, when one right or privelage is given or provided to a special group of people, it creates inequality within society. I am a firm believer of 'what's good for the goose is good for the gander'. If the laws should state that it is ok for a group to wear a turban while riding a motorcycle, the helmet law should be abolished. It is really that simple.
 
In some ways I find the fact that the Ontario Human Rights Commission is supporting him the most disturbing aspect of this story.
