That's the trouble though, when a high profile public figure like this guy gets in a wreck the focus seems to be solely on his choice not to wear a helmet. Instead, the focus should be on the idiot driver who made the left turn into him. After all, that's the person who broke the law causing the accident. But then that's not what the safety nazis(newspaper writers) want you to read. They'd rather focus their attention on the legal rider instead of the law breaking cager. It helps them to get their agenda across.



I partially agree with you Derek, I think the focus needs to be both ways, that the idiot turned in front of him causing the accident, and that his injuries would have been significantly reduced had he been wearing a helmet, unfortunately, you're right. They seem to completely ignore (or at least minimize) the fact that the accident was the cager's fault.
A responsible media would take this opportunity to educate the public about sharing the road and being aware that motorcyclists are on the road in ever increasing numbers, and that they have to LOOK for us
