Complaint about EQUIPMENT : MOTORCYCLE : HELMETS

SURPRISE, AZ

Consumer Complaint:
HELMET LAWS, LEGISLATION OR OTHER ACTS TO PLACE HELMETS ON BIKE RIDERS NEEDS TO STOP. A MORE EFFECT STRATEGY WOULD BE ACCIDENT PREVENTION THROUGH EDUCATION AND ON-BIKE TRAINING. THE HIGHWAYS NEED TO BE MADE SAFER FOR ALL USERS OF THE ROADS - I FEEL ROPE AND METAL BARRIERS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS TO MOTORCYCLISTS. ON WINDY STRETCHES OF HIGHWAYS, WHY NOT INSTALL FLAGS OR SIMILAR ITEMS SO THE DRIVERS OF VEHICLES CAN DETERMINE WIND DIRECTION AND STRENGTH. IF YOU ARE HELL BEND TO REQUIRING HELMET USAGE FOR THE SMALL POPULATION OF MC RIDERS - WHY NOT REQUIRE HELMET USAGE FOR ALL PASSENGERS AND DRIVERS OF ALL MOTOR VEHICLES. HEAD INJURIES ARE A BIG FACTOR IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS. THE SEVERITY OF HEAD INJURIES CAN BE REDUCED BY THE USE OF A HELMET - I KNOW THIS WOULD NOT BE A GOOD POLITICALLY CORRECT SOLUTION. A BETTER STRATEGY WOULD BE TO REQUIRE LICENSE RETESTING EVERY 4 TO 6 YEARS AND MANDATORY RE-EDUCATION AT LEAST EVERY 10 YEARS. YOU NEED TO START CONCENTRATING ON ACCIDENT PREVENTION INSTEAD OF MODIFYING THE EQUIPMENT TO INCREASE SURVIVABILITY. YOU WILL GET A BIGGER BANG FOR YOUR DOLLARS BY CONCENTRATING ON PREVENTION. *TR
