Motorcycle Safety Glasses

I recently got a ticket for not wearing my helmet while riding my motorcycle (stupid idea I know) but I wasn't aware that I was required to.. but I found out the PA law states that because I only have a permit I have to. So I got the ticket for that.. but.. the cop also gave my one for mot wearing eye protection as a separate fine.. is eye protection and the helmet not the same thing? Is this arguable?

2 different things...

eye protection is required by everyone, helmets are required if you are a novice, passenger of a novice, or under the age of 18

When motorcycle riding, wear a helmet and a protective jacket to help prevent injury. Learn more about motorcycle safety gear from an experienced ...

I know the answer to that but I mean in relation to motorcycle safety. My car needs front and rear impact bumbers, steel re-inforced side beams, lap and shoulder belts, front and side air bags, safety glass etc. And a child needs to be in a booster seat until they're 80 or 90 lbs. Yet a motorcycle has no built in safety devices (aside from the operator), you don't need to wear a helmet (some states) and you can just strap your kid onto the back and say "hang on".

Without getting into an argument over bad drivers/cyclists, can someone explain this to me?
- The question isn't about why cars have air bags (read the first line) it's why are'nt motorcycles subject to the same department of transportation and government safety guidelines!

When you drive a motorcycle then you have to get a special license and take a special class. By doing this you have effectively signed a release form saying that if anything bad happens to you then nobody, but you is responsible for the lack of safety equipment on that motorcycle.

If you drive a motorcycle you take your life in your own hands. Since it was once legal to drive them and people owned them the DMV is reluctant to make them illegal. They try to make sure that people know how to drive motorcycles and are as safe as possible, but that is the limit to what they can do.

Tom Cruise likes to ride his motorcycle, however he can't do it when he is making a motion picture. The motion picture company's insurance company considers that to be too dangerous. If Tom Cruise is in an accident and production shuts down then that can cost millions of dollars a day. The insurance company will not pay for that, so they demand that Mr. Cruise's contact, for the movie roll, says that he cannot ride his motorcycle while he is filming the movie. He did anyway. This is also why movie companies don’t like their big stars trying to do their own stunts, which Mr. Cruise also does.

Recently, an American Football star was driving his motorcycle, during the summer, before the season began. He was riding without a helmet and had an accident. He messed up his leg and was put into the hospital. When the football team that had his contract found out about this there was a big worry that they would kick him off the team for doing that. He was doing something considered very dangerous and his professional football team could have canceled his contract for it. He got better, and was able to play that season so the team didn't cancel his contract, but you can bet they told him to get rid of that motorcycle or they would cancel his contract.

secure myself with a seat belt, have a car with air bags, safety glass, collapsable steering column, etc. And still pay outrageous insurance premimums, even though I have never been at fault in an accident. But people with motorcycles get to drive around with no helmets, no safety clothing requirements, loud pipes, and their insurance is nowhere near what I pay. I think their insurance should be ten times what a car owner pays. What do you think?

Because of more and more socialism and big brother watching and dictating our every move. You make a valid point. I tend to agree with you.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Watch out if a liberal socialist like obammamamma is elected

CLARIFICATION:
CLARIFICATION: I have heard many many people on here say we need to get 100% off of oil.
We will Always need oil.

Lets drill our own
So.. we're going to destroy plant life instead??

Somehow I don't think ALGORE will allow that

Uh, well, nice list, it must have taken you a long time to cut and paste that. However, they said oil for energy. Not all oil. So, yeah, that must be disappointing for you. Nice list though.

Trillion dollar spending plans, multibillion dollar bailouts, and now...here it comes. Higher taxes.

Oh yeah, I've heard the Obama hype about all the "tax cuts" that the middle class folks are gonna get. But that's all it is...hype!

"WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is sending his Treasury secretary and budget director to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to defend his proposed tax increases, which are being met with misgivings by both Republicans and Democrats in Congress.

Lawmakers in both parties question Obama's call to reduce high-income earners' tax deductions for the interest on their house payments and for charitable contributions. Also drawing fire is his proposal to start taxing industries on their greenhouse gas pollution — a move sure to raise consumers' electric rates."

Now for those who forget the many things made from oil - and oil refineries will fall under this new tax increase proposal - let us take a minute and review. These products are made from oil. So...not only will we pay higer taxes for fuel, both gas for our cars and heating oil, but when we go shopping, we will also pay higer prices for the following products, because those increased taxes to the manufacturers will be passed along to us...

Obamas Budget Director , Peter Orszag, had this to say:

"Orszag has acknowledged that the energy proposal would increase costs for consumers, but he argues that the vast majority of consumers will get tax breaks elsewhere in Obama's budget package."

Really! I wonder...just how many tax breaks for us working stiffs does this spendulous bill have?

How f@cked up does this whole thing have to get, before people wake up to how badly we are going to get screwed?

First of all, it would be nice if you cleaned your mouth up a bit here. Second, you stated, "Oh yeah, I've heard the Obama hype about all the "tax cuts" that the middle class folks are gonna get. But that's all it is...hype!" How do you know it's all hype when it isn't ready yet to happen? Ever heard of and practiced wait and see what happens? You are putting the horse before the buggy.
