Subject: RE: Helmet law veto - FOR T.M.
For a health care "professional" you sure don't spell very well. Your thinking is pretty flawed as well. Vehicle insurance has NOT gone up in any of the 30 states that have repealed their helmet law. Check your facts before repeating someone elses lies!
While you are at it, why not insist all car drivers AND passengers wear helmets. 99% of all taxpayer assisted head injury costs are due to those injured in CAR accidents! There are many many more cars than bikes on the road.
I pay for my insurance as do all bikers, in the same ratio as car drivers.
TM, I don't believe you are a rider at all or you would never let your riding brothers and sisters down like you did. If you are really old enough to decide for yourself to wear a helmet, why can't I have the same right to decide NOT to wear a helmet?
By the way, how about sitting down right now and writing out a nice fat contributiopn to Jenny? It would be fun to watch you throwing your $$$ away when she goes down the drain in November!!!

PS You made 3 spelling errors in two sentences. See below. We should trust your intelligence on other matters??? See if you can even find them!
TM said: "I am glad she veto the helmet law. Being a health care professional,I believe it does save lives and repelling the law would drive health care and vechile insurance up."
