So why is it that in Kentucky I can get a $150 ticket for not wearing my seatbelt in my car; but if I want to get on a motorcycle and not wear a helmet - that's fine?????? Guess the motorcycle lobby is stronger than the safety Nazi's lobby. My opinion is that no one should tell you whether you have to wear a seat belt or a helmet - it's your choice, who are you hurting? However, I would not get on a motorcycle without a helmet.
