You are missing the point. The local laws say that they can collect revenue from me for going over 40 mph
for safety reasons. I have more contact with the ground, better brakes, seat-belts... Yet these bozos on 2 wheels can fly down the roads like a bat out of Hell with no regard for other vehicles. Yea, I know they can't hurt others if they crash but guess what, if I hit one of them, I pay for their stupidity.
While we're on the subject, why do I have to wear a seatbelt when I have fenders, bumpers, and airbags but its OK to ride a motorcycle with shorts, t-shirt, and a helmet (oh now there's safety!)?
And now that you've got me going, answer this, I live in America so why do I have to press one for English?!!! (OK, I went to far with that one).
