The following defy logic to me:
1. School buses don’t have seat belts. I know, I know, they’ve got all sorts of reasons why they don’t, the so-called experts tell us, but really, they’ve forced seat belt usage down our throats for 20 years…and we still don’t have ‘em on school buses.
2. Helmet-free motorcycle riding. Don’t give me all your “freedom of choice” crap, when my insurance rates go up because of the helmetless riders the insurance company has had to cover, it’s a tad annoying. If I’ve got to wear the silly seat belt, then they should have to put on a helmet. But even deeper than that…why would you WANT to ride a motorcycle without a helmet?
3. Cell phone bills. ’nuff said.

Along the same lines as the motorcycle thing, why aren’t the same noise laws enforced for motorcycles that apply to cars? If I can get a ticket for my stereo being loud, then the asshole on the oil-leaking Harley next to me should get one too. And that loud pipes save lives line is bullshit. Revving that obnoxious, overpriced thing at a stoplight under an overpass is saving no one’s life.

100% agree. That lobby needs to, pardon the pun, pipe down. Those loud pipes are there for one reason and one reason only: Intimidation, stickin’ it to the law.
