I would like to have stricter rules on helmets being worn by operators of motorcycles. Wearing helmets is safer and saves lives.

I know helmets get hot in the summer, but I would think a person would rather be hot than dead or badly hurt.

Perhaps motorcycle drivers think it’s cool to go without helmets. I think they are fools. It is not cool to have your head bashed all over the street or suffer severe brain damage.

I hope legislators pass a stricter helmet law to save lives and help prevent head injuries.
