What do you mean by "universally beneficial"? Are you saying it shoukd not be required because it won't prevent every single fatality? That is absolutely ridiculous.I knew someone who was in an automobile accident and not wearing a seatbelt saved his life. It was a rare occurrence. His car went over a cliff and was ejected and ended up on the roadway standing up without a scratch! The cops said he woud have been killed if he wore a seatbelt. So by your logic, because of that rare occurrence we should not require seatbelts. Virtually nothing is "universally beneficial." My sister might still be alive today if she wore her helmet when she was cycling. Even if some lives are saved, it should be required. How could wearing a helmet be detrimental? And you are wrong about drivers being at fault if they can't see legal bicyclists if the law doesn't require light or reflective clothing at night and reflectors on the wheels. One tiny rear reflector and a headlight which I believe is all the law requires is insufficient. Cyclists need to use more common sense and take some responsibility. I was able to see some cyclists only because of the reflectors on their sneakers! |
