No seatbelt get a fine no helmet pass go

This kind of stuff cracks me up, in Florida if you are in the front seat of a car you can be fined for not wearing a seat belt. However, if you drive a motorcycle not only is there no seat belt but you do not have to wear a helmet either! So in Florida it is not OK to drive in a thousand pound automobile that is essentially a steel cage with safety glass windows and a these things called airbags without a seat belt but it is OK to drive on the outside of the steel cage with no helmet and no bags of air? I love this stuff it makes no sense at all, now I am sure if you take into account insurance, the number or cars on the road, and a multitude of other variables it would start to make sense. But seriously what fun is that, let's look at this from the surface where it is more fun.

I had this realization yesterday while I was waiting in traffic in the comfort of my steel cage while not wearing my seat belt, watching these guys on motorcycles with no helmet. I thought to myself, "Wow, I should probably put my seat belt on, there is a cop over there, I wouldn't want to get a ticket now would I? Oh wait that's cool those guys are on motorcycles, hay wait a second they don't have seat belts either and they don't have to wear a helmet." Great I thought I'm probably ten thousand times more likely to survive a car crash without my seat belt then they are with a helmet.

This is a head scratcher if ever there was one. Also would it be possible to get a comment from someone? Am I wasting everyone's time, tell me I am horrible or maybe I am good but I'd love a good comment, I promise I'll respond. Hell tell me how I should make my site better or tell me to stop writing all together.
