In what world does this make sense? You can ride a motorcycle without a helmet in the Nutmeg State if you’re the right age, but never an e-bike.

    I’ve always found seatbelt laws strange for this reason. Obviously, people should wear seatbelts. But it’s odd that it’s a ticketable offense in the same world where you are free to eject yourself at 75mph into someone’s back windscreen on the highway via motorcycle.

    I’m somewhat surprised that in a lawsuit-heavy world where everything is covered in bubble wrap, and hammers have warnings that tell you to not hit your fingers or swallow the hammer, that motorcycles are still allowed to roll free.

    Same thing with restrictions on sawed off shotguns, shotguns with ammo and laser restrictions, etc in a world where you can have an Steyr AUG with extended mags, lol.

      If you aren’t buckled up, you are a threat to everyone inside the car because you’re going to get thrown around and injure everyone. I have kicked people out of my car for this before. I do agree that the NFA is nonsense though.

      Buckle the fuck up everyone! Wear helmets! Both have saved my life.
