Folks, When the cops see you riding without a helmet in Canada, they bundle you into the cruiser, take you down to the station, and then charge and fine you.
Your motorbike arrives later on a tow truck. The total cost to such a rider is not less than $500. In addition, your insurance premium immediately doubles or triples (i.e. is you can still find someone interested in insuring you.) > BROKE HELMET RULE, SUFFERED HEAD INJURIES: The > police had flagged down on Wednesday one John F > Pinto at Cortalim junction for riding beyond the > speed limit without a helmet.

(GT) John was stopped and fined. Then he was released (still helmetless.) Does this make sense to anybody?
