I wonder how insurance will work for these people. Have a little off and suffer a life-altering brain injury that would have otherwise been a scuff on a helmet; surely the system would make it financially untenable to ride without a helmet. Or is that discriminatory too?
I still can't believe how stupid this is.
Personally I hope that their individual insurance rates will reflect the added risk they are taking, that would seem fair, but I doubt it would be much of a deterrent for a lot of Sikhs. I watched a video a while back featuring the Brampton Sikh Motorcycle club and it's a bunch of guys trailering brand-new Harley Electra Glides and other expensive bikes to a parking lot and riding them around in circles. If they have the kind of money to spend on a new Harley to ride in parking lots I'm willing to bet the increased insurance premiums aren't going to deter them.
As many have said, either have a law or don't have it; there shouldn't be religious exemptions.
It should be amended that if you ride without a helmet you forfeit OHIP and insurance benefits, we should not pay to care for you when your religious choice requires you to receive round the clock medical care for life.
My seat-belt sometimes wrinkles my shirt, where do I get an exemption?
This is a freedom thing. Honestly, it is stupid to not wear a helmet BUT I highly doubt anyone here wears head to toe leather, chest protector, etc and only rides a 50cc trail bike in a closed parking lot. It's kinda comical that anyone would care if they wear helmets or not, and then climb on their own bike (like a crotch rocket) and pull stunts like we hear about daily in the moto world, or as others have stated, look at the open face helmets out there. Bikes have risks. So does skiing, being fat, drinking, etc. We need less laws on items of personal choice, not more.
