| Turbans can be used if not helmets |
| 2005-03-07 |
| LAHORE: PML President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain told reporters on Sunday that the helmet restriction imposed on motorcyclists was for their own safety. However, Chaudhry Shujaat said he would ask Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi to allow motorcyclists to wear turbans if they did not want to wear helmets. |

| #12 Seems to me the turbans may be used to wrap up the body parts thereby saving an expensive body bag. |

| #11 Now, I'm not taking sides on the helmet law issue, but I always thought Rhode Island's was insane: it's optional for the driver but mandatory for the passenger. I know the arguments against the law (peripheral vision, hearing), but half-dome helmets address both of these. |

| #10 Abandon them or make them pay. They're just like the wackos that go off in National Parks/Forests when they're told not to and then need to be resuced. They should pay. I don't mind paying to help people recover from disasters outside their control, but when it's in their control...I smoked for 30 years and I don't plan to ask insurance to pay if I get the big C. It's called personal responsibility and we all need to take some. |

| #8 In reality, the Paki Govt. could care less whether you wear a helmet or not. My eyes really tear up when I hear about Mooselimbs dying from accidents. Oh, the humanity. BTW, there is no high speed traffic in Pakiland. |

| #7 Arizona also has the Barrow Neurological Institute, one of the premier brain trauma research facilities in the world. Pure coincidence, I am sure. |

| #6 That's the problem Mrs. D. the public foots the bill if they don't have the insurance. Lose-lose. Unless you just abandon them at the accident site... which is a possibility. |

| #5 I don't care whether they wear a helmet as long as they have a No helmet, No healthcare policy. |

| #4 Arizona has tried to pass a Helmet law several times,keeps getting shot down.My personal opinion"If they can make me wear a seat belt,they can make a Biker wear a helmet"it's one of the inconsistantcies of the law that just chaps my hide. |

| #3 Please don't wear a helmet and ride at high speed in congested traffic. When you die from head trauma you will leave more for the rest of us. Thank you for your beturbaned cooperation. |
