I just can't believe how some people are so quick to give up their freedom.
When it comes to helmets and PFDs, I think people should have the freedom to do what they please. Smart people will wear appropriate safety gear when conditions merit. If I decide to hop on a quad and ride slowly across the camping area to get a cup of coffee... I should be able to do that without a helmet on (but it would be a ticket where I ride). If I'm jumping dunes and I'm not wearing a helmet, that's darwinism.
I wondered when I bought my kayak if I was forced to wear a PFD. That makes no sense to me. If I'm swimming, I don't need a PFD, but if I'm riding a giant flotation device I need one? I figured if I got questioned about it I'd just jump in the water and tow it to show how ridiculous it was.
Can we just take a state that nobody likes and turn it into this regulationville that some people crave? You'd need somebody with common sense so you could figure out what all the new laws needed to be, and surveillance cameras everywhere so they could be enforced. Maybe a new website, finepal, so you can easily pay your fines online.
I prefer Margaritaville myself.
