That helps, but you need to bear in mind that drivers have blind

No, wearing a helmet is a way to avoid paranoia. Anything that makes you
feel safer, actually increases your real world risks. Any competent
survival instructor will tell you the safest thing to do in a real
survival situation is to be alone, unarmed, and naked.

I believe the law should read, "If you won't wear a helmet on your
motorcycle, no public funds or insurance monies may be used to support
your life or recovery after an accident."
Bicycle riding is another matter, but still deserves the helmet.
