Then it makes zero sense to permit folks to drive motorcycles if car drivers have to wear seat belts.


Cars make zero sense compared to semis or buses also; so also two lane highways compared to divided highways. I not at all crazy about sharing the roads with motorized bikes; I wouldn�t do it and certainly don�t want to paste someone on one, but I�m not going to suggest that you shouldn�t be allowed to ride one.
You're missing my point. It's that the seat belt laws make no logical sense if you still allow motorcycles (whose riders cannot wear seat belts) on the road. It's an argument against seat belt laws, and I think it's a pretty insurmountable one. It only fails because logic doesn't prevail in the creation of laws.
