Enough is enough is enough. First of all, only idiots ride motorcycles without helmets. One smack of your noggin on the ground and it will split like a ripe melon. Second, helmets are Canadian law. Period. If you want to ride a motorcycle, wear your turban UNDER your helmet, or wear it OVER your helmet, or get a helmet that LOOKS like a turban, but wearing a helmet is THE LAW. Period. So get over it. And enough of this whining and bullying garbage.

Fellow motorcycle riding friends recently brought this article to our attention, and my girlfriend and I, who both ride motorcycles, are apaulled that the the Human Rights Commission would be behind yet another attempt to scream discrimination (this term is severely over used) in order to mould our country's laws to suit their personal or religious desires. If this person who received this ticket for riding without a helmut is unable to ride safely and within the paramaters of our province's laws, while attending to his his religious beliefs,(ie. wearing his turban) then he must make the decision between the two.(ie. ride with a helmut or not ride) If he has a motorcycle accident and ends up needing to be taken care of for the rest of his life, due to his not wanting to wear a helmut, is he willing to sign a waiver so that the rest of Ontario's citizens are relieved of the cost? What insurance company would even cover him? If he wears a religious sword and it is difficult to wear along with a seatbelt, is he exempt from that also? I think that I speak for the majority of Canadian citizens when I say that we are beyond exhausted at the efforts of people who try to manipulate and bend this country's rules, traditions, government, etc. to suit themselves, and yet again 'in the name of religion'. Perhaps this man should re-think his decision to live in Canada, since it sounds like there is a conflict of interest, and so that he is better able to maintain a balance between the things that he'd like to do while being 'sincere' to his religion. We feel that the tolerance level of long time Canadians has pretty much reached it's limit thanks to the self serving changes that relatively new, or new persons to this country have been after. We are truly fed up, and the Human Rights Commission should remember the other citizens' rights, such as the right NOT to have OUR traditions, laws, and OUR religious beliefs CONTINUOUSLY INTERFERED WITH!

time for me to join these sikh dudes, i hate wearing my helmet, for 30 years i have been riding to America, to experience the freedom of ridin' with no helmet.The fight for 'LET THOSE WHO RIDE, DECIDE' has fallen on deaf ears here. We should have seen this religous angle years ago... Now, which temple should i join. What colour should my new turban (bandana) be? How much are the monthly dues?

Let those who ride decide !! This is not a religious or a safety issue, but rather an issue of FREEDOM OF CHOICE !! Mandated attire is not something the law should be stipulating. If we allow it to continue, where will it stop? When we are required to addorn ourselves with football padding, or worse yet..a full midieval suit of armor? A better way is by educating the public by improving public awareness of motorcyclists' rights, and funding/mandating rider (driver) training to reduce the number of motorcycle related injuries and fatalities commonly due to negligence on the behalf of cage (car/truck) drivers. I've been riding for over 30 years. A motorcycle does not scare me, you do, when you are driving!!

Oh, please. Stop the "let those who ride, decide" and religious nonsense. Next thing you know you'll have drivers deciding not to wear seat belts in their cars because they're "uncomfortable". This needs to stop. I don't care how much of a rebel you are, restrictions need to be imposed. It's the same reason why we stop people from committing suicide. Or do you want to try a "let those who live, decide" kind of thing for this, as well? Listen, the helmets, seat belts, and other safety devices are there for a reason. They're for YOUR safety. So if an accident does happen, you don't end up causing a fortune, and using the tax payer's money to fix the mess you've caused. I couldn't care less for the Sikh's religious bigotry. If you don't like it, you're free to move.
