Six jours

I wear a seatbelt every time because I have read through all the statistics and am convinced that they make a significant difference. I also am aware that there are many, many variables which are out of my control when I am driving. So seat belts make sense for me. But I am against mandatory seatbelt laws simply because I think people should have complete freedom to do what they want as long as it doesn't do harm to others.

I generally don't wear a helmet while riding because I read through all the statistics and am convinced that bicycle helmets are of very little value. Also, on the bicycle, I am generally able to control most of the variables - if I fall it will almost certainly be my own fault and I will take my lumps if/when it happens. So bicycle helmets generally don't make sense for me. And I am against mandatory bicycle helmet laws for exactly the same reason I am against mandatory seat belt laws.
