I find them highly uncomfortable, but in reality it's a simple issue of freedom. Namely mine. If i get 'caught' (never have been), then IMO the fine is simply the cost of freedom.

The law has nothing to do with safety anyway, it's there to placate the insurance lobby and line the governmental coffers.

If it was actually about safety, motorcycles wouldn't even be allowed on the road, nor would SUV's. 18 wheelers would actually have real safety measures designed into them. But it's not.

Which of course, we all know.
