Insurance or No Insurance?
Helmets vs Insurance vs Seatbelts... where do you stand?

Avg Rating: (7)

 Poll Question:

    

I'm not exactly sure how many states have implemented this helmet law, but in some states (including Florida), the law says; if you are a motorcycle owner and you carry the proper insurance you don't have to wear a helmet. If you DON'T have that particular insurance then you HAVE to wear a helmet or be fined heavily.

My theory on that is simple: Why can't that law apply to car owners as well? If you have the proper insurance on your car (lets say, bodily injury for the sake of argument), shouldn't wearing a seatbelt be your personal choice? Because lets face it, if I have my seatbelt on and I lose control of my car and ram into a bus stop full of people (gods forbid) how many people will be saved by MY seatbelt? I've heard of more people getting tickets for seatbelts lately than anything else. Frankly, I think the police should be concentrating on more important things like rapists and killers, not the hardened criminals that refuse to wear their 'safety belts'.

So here's the question:
If you had the option to pay an extra $20 a month on your car insurance to keep from having to wear your seatbelt, would you pay it?


 Poll Options:

    Yes I would, but I'd still wear my seatbelt
    Yes... I'm getting tired of all the seatbelt tickets!
    No - and I still won't wear my seatbelt. They have to catch me first.
    Nope. I'll just keep wearing my seatbelt because it's safe.
    Sometimes I wear it, sometimes I don't.
    I'm not sure.
