Anyone who drives a motorbike without wearing a helmet is an idiot.

 

I fail to understand what problems some have driving motorbikes wearing helmets? I have been out on my motorbike during the blazing heat. It has become so hot on top of the helmet that it`s possible to fry an egg on there. So those not wearing them must be getting their brains boiled inside their skulls. Also, a bug or a small stone hitting the face at speed, can have the same affect as a bullet, possible for an eye to get knocked out. At one time a wasp hit my helmet and cracked the visor.

 

These laws are implemented for our own protection, ABIDE BY THEM.

Wow. And he says "I" am the idiot...

...Yes it seems that they can..  it is the common practice..  although that doesn't necessarily mean it is legal..  

Besides paying, anything else that can be done...

There is something else that can be done. Wear your helmet from now on, it is the law. Save your life and benefit your wallet. I come from New York USA. I don't like helmets, but it is the law. I wore the helmet.

Some of them like to roll the dice...

Police don't get paid a lot so paying them when stopped seems fair.

If you disagree, just take off when stopped.

Unlikely they can catch you.

Not wearing helmet might be a good way to reduce global population.

Please enjoy the wind-in-the-hair feeling.

Therefore:

papa recommend against wearing those ugly hot things.
