Had there been no helmet law, would you have been wearing yours still?

Re: Helmet Laws
i dont see what the big deal is, most of you say you would wear it anyway...so whats the big deal?
i know when i had a bike down in Fl, you didnt have to wear one, but you had to have a certain amount of insurance.

<i>True but that same cell phone lady could run me down walking across the street. I can not and will not try and live my life worried about what I can not control. Life isn't that long<i>

Wearing a helmet or seatbelt could very likely save your life someday. This isn't necessarily aimed at you, but people that try that "the government is trying to control us" bullshit really enrage me. I can just see this thread heading that direction.
