Sikh on Motorcycle

Dear Fighter,

tonight, while driving back from an excellent dinner I had the chance to witness another mystery. I drove past a Sikh on a motorcycle and he was not wearing a helmet. Of course, Sikh are not allowed to take their turban off. This get me thinking, does the law, which by the way stipulates that a Sikh may keep their turban on during security control at the airports, recognize a religous superpower wich enables the turban to protect its wearer?

And yes, it does! My research found the following link: SikhWiki

Don't get me wrong, I respect the decision to honor a religous belief. But what I don't understand is that I may not ride without a helmet (or may not wear a seat belt). I am not putting anyone in danger (besides myself) whilst not wearing a helmet or seat belt.

Why do I have to comply whilst other get exemptions from the law?



Keep Fightin'
