Wrong--they are aimed to protect the rest of our pocketbooks from them since they are in the same insurance pools as the rest of us. If motorcyclists had to be in their own separate insurance pool it would be to expensive for them to afford. The same with those who don't wear their seatbelts. Their injuries are often worse than had they been wearing them and they are therefore a greater drain on the insurance pool by their greater costs. Don't say that their "freedom of choice" doesn't hurt the rest of us! Steve Nelson Willard Hay REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
