Motorcycle Safety - Gear - Accidents - Personal Experiences

This is just people trying to appeal to emotion. They just don't want the helmet law (I'm no fan of it either, even though I always wear one.....I have no problem with the population of stupid people being decreased). Another motorbike assassin and thief favorite is to wrap their heads up in t-shirts (something that normal, non-criminal, people wear quite often on their heads out in the province to protect themselves from the sun) to hide their identities. Should the government ban t-shirts being put on heads as well because there are people who use it improperly? I guess while they are at it they should ban Halloween masks, surgical masks, women's leggings, large socks, ski-masks, Santa beards, sun glasses....basically popular head apparel that could potentially be used to hide your identity. The drop down sun visors are absolutely no different than full tinted visors when I comes to hiding your identity. A fully tinted front visor can be opened up at a PNP checkpoint just as easily as the internal pop-down sun visors.

If people want to argue against fully tinted front visors there is a much more logical argument to make: if the front visor is always tinted that makes driving at night extremely dangerous without driving around with the visor open.

Driving with limited vision isn't nearly as scary as assassins though....so they don't make that argument. But in reality one if far more dangerous and likely to end up killing you than the other. Hint: the more dangerous one isn't an assassin for the large majority of people.

 

The difference between the US and here is that the Philippines has absolutely no social healthcare to speak of. If someone busts their heads open on the road or flies through a windshield it will be on the taxpayers to foot the bill if they don't have insurance in the US/West......here you just get left on the hospital steps to bleed out. They value of life here very little and being stupid is far more risky and dangerous than in the West.....and I'm perfectly fine with that.
