Why are motorcycles legal? * 2
    #22299572 - 09/27/15 05:09 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I dont have anything against motorcycles but I dont see why they are legal to drive for safety reasons. It's a law that you have to wear a seat belt when being inside a car whether you're the driver or a passanger, but they just let people drive an unenclosed vehicle with zero safety features? I dont think motorcyclists are even required to wear a helmet! Shit is strange to me  :shrug:

helmets are not decided on a federal level, that is handled at a state level.

and why wouldnt they be? its actually a more efficient type of transportation.

Efficiency should not trump safety though... I guess the better question is, Why are people required by law to wear seat belts if there are way more unsafe vehicles with no safety restraints?

also the seat belt laws would have never passed if that made bikes illegal at the same time, and that's what they would have done because if you put a seatbelt on a bike you are going to kill a bunch of people when they crash

What he's saying is that seatbelt laws seem like a double standard considering the fact that people are allowed to ride motorcycles at all.

I'm trying to figure out what kind of government lets people cross streets without police escort. That's what we should be discussing.

Motorcycles are a form of population control.

I'm a huge advocate of the general population thinning itself out due to stupidity and dangerously fast machines.

why would anyone feel the government should be able to tell me I can't ride a motorcycle because I might hurt myself?



Seat belt laws are money, simple as that. So are helmet laws. The government doesn't give a fuck about any of us.

I felt WAY more comfortable on my bike than I did in my vehicle. Turns better, stops better, accelerates out of potential situations with ease, etc etc... If someone wants to ride they know the risk.  If we end up slung off our bike because granny didn't know a stop side was a red octagon with four bright white letters on it that's usually placed on roads where other cars cross perpendicular, that's our problem, we knew the risk... Mature riders know this.

On a more serious note, why can that same Granny buy a 45ft+ motor home and drive it on state roads without getting a CDL or any sort of license enhancement? Now that's a topic worthy of legislation.

So what I've learned is that the government passed homicide laws for profit and not to protect people, stop sign laws are okay, but seatbelt laws are not, and that motorcycles are only dangerous if you ride them. Great job, shroomery.

:facepalm:

Are you unable to differentiate between laws that prevent someone from hurting other people and laws that keep people from hurting themselves?

This isn't rocket science.

I hate driving for the mere fact people can drive over 60mph with ease
it makes driving much more attention consuming
and then these assholes want to tail gate you
and it's not just the main highways everyone does it everywhere

Why is fast food and smoking cigarettes legal? Motorcycles have a more practical purpose than both. Either one kills more people every year than die in motorcycle accidents. Neither have "safety gear" you can strap on.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.
