There are too many bloody busy-bodies these days, wanting to interfere in other peoples lives.
In a way I tend to agree with you about too much legislation, but whatever happened to common sense?
Riding without safety gear is like rock climbing without a harness and who would ever think to parachute jump without a chute?
If you come off you will get hurt, everyone is well aware of that but any sensible person should minimize the risk.
We shouldn't need laws against stupidity.
