I have been unable to find any statistics that support this law.
Is the "problem" 1 in 100 sport bikes or 1 in 1,000, or 1 in 10,000.....
It would appear that the law has been contrived due to speculation of
a problem existing and not hard facts.
How many adults on motorcycles are being killed vs kids?
I would guess that more adults die, just guessing, but if we were
REALLY interested in saving lives we'd ban motorcycle use by adults
and the net effect would be more lives saved.
Another feel good law based on nebulous emotion.
If you want the government to become mom and dad for you then let
them herd us all into high rise apartments where we can ride public
transportation and have no need for personal "dangerous" vehicles..
The mortality rate for ALL citizens would drop dramatically with 100,000's
lives saved. No more heart ache calls, no more need for highway patrol,
no more wasted money on highway speed limit signs. Utopia!
