It just goes to show that you don't have to be going a high rate of speed to need a lid. ATGATT.

Poor guy, not even out of the lot. DAMN!!!!

I guess when you don't have a choice and have to wear one it make it a little easier. Here, since we still have a choice, I don't always wear mine.... in fact, it's a rare occasion anymore.

and even though it is a safe thing to do, I still feel that people should have the option.... it should not be a law. (yeah, yeah.... let the bashing begin) ;)
