Laws to be Enforced

With summer in full bloom, everyone is out and about enjoying the wonderful and warm weather.  People are driving their convertibles with the top down, enjoying a nice evening walk, and of course riding their motorcycles.

Within the past few years, Wisconsin passed the "click it or ticket" law, otherwise known as receiving a ticket for not buckling up in your car.

Personally, I believe it is one of the safest laws to live by because it is so simple to do.  There are too many deaths of people dying in car accidents for not being buckled up.

The other day I noticed a bumper sticker on a car about watching out for motorcycles because they are driving on the road too.

It is a great message and people should definitely be aware of it.  However, on this same day, I saw a motorcyclist riding his bike without a helmet.  I thought, why is it a law for people inside a vehicle to be buckled up, but there is not a law for people who are not covered by a vehicle to wear a helmet?  I think it is just as important, if not more, for there to be a law requiring motorcyclists to wear a helmet while driving their bike.  It will only help them save their life if something terrible would unfortunately happen.  

I hope that eventually this will become a law and that people will continue to make bumper stickers to watch out for the bikers.
