We have laws which force people to wear helmets, and wear seat belts. These are common sense laws to prevent people from killing themselves. Nobody bats an eye.
This is the example I’d use during covid when people were complaining about masks being against their rights, even when it would protect them from being sick.
My guy, you’re someone who wouldn’t wear a helmet if the laws had only just changed to enforce them. You’re a hazard to yourself.
There are people who try to bypass those also, or cheat em. Usually for some personal comfort. One of my sisters was like this. She wasn’t that tall, and complained the seat belt shoulder part was uncomfortable, so she’d either not wear it or put that part behind her.
Then someone swung into her lane causing her to rear end em (she was in a moving normal speed lane and they were backed up in an exit lane). Without the seat belt there, what instead slowed her movement forward was the steering wheel shattering her jaw. She’s fine now, but a painful lesson that included reconstructive surgery.
Yep, I just meant there are too many people who don’t use something until they get hurt, or something similar. I have a seatbelts on or I stop driving rule, and I do sometimes have to tell people. Including different siblings from the one who got hurt.
There are still plenty of idiots who make a stink about helmets and seat belts unfortunately.
