Imagine that its your own son who has the choice and half the adults do not wear helmets. Wouldn't you wish that all bikers wore helmets?

I do wish that all bikers wore helmets. I also wish that all drivers wore seatbelts. That doesn't give me the right to force them to.

I also agree about the "role models" part. But parents have always said "Do as I say, not as I do", and always will. The line has to be drawn somewhere. The problem is that there are many lines, and very few people can agree on where any of them should be.
