Such a dumb decision, I'm surprised it actually passed. It's unbelievable the things people are willing to fight for under the pretense of religion :rolleyes: These kind of rules should stay in India.

This is stupid. But meh..its perhaps a small group.
I recall my friends (years ago) take off thier turban and tieing up thier hair and just riding with a bigger/specfic helmets you can get.
The only thing I would add is if they want to ride without a helmet, then they have to be manditory organ donors.
It's catering to special interest groups and it's bullshit. The ONLY way I'd support this decision is if it's applied across the board and far higher premiums are levied by those who make the CHOICE to ride helmet free.
I saw a guy argue on spikerS fbook page that a turban has so much cloth it's more or less equal in protection as a helmet. Wtf?
This underscores my post in another thread that says the vocal few change society, often at a detriment to the whole.
Edit - also in before the "if you don't support this you're racist/why do you hate religious tolerance" crowd shows up. You can all go eat a dick or, whatever is contrary to your typical preference.
Yes... Although the former isn't against the law, so unless they mandated mandatory safety gear (which wouldn't be a bad idea) then its moot.
The latter is a far better example, though in that situation as well I would argue those who don't utilize law-required seatbelts also should forfeit their right to free treatment.
My only issue is that if one group isn't required, then nobody should be required. I couldn't care less if someone want to risk their melon while riding a bike. I am sure the average individual costs of each head trauma case will go up, but I wonder if the increased amount of deaths would balance that out.
They are probably digging up anything the can that to try to rope the UCP into issues that have any racial or religious angles involved to start fueling the narrative that the UCP is a party of racists and hatemongers. The NDP probably doesn't agree with they themselves just did, its just bait on the hook...
Allowing certain people to circumvent the law because they believe in an invisible man. It begins.
What a world.
I am all for this is if I can decide it’s against my religion to pay taxes.
This happened a few years ago in BC - you cant allow one religious group an exemption and not another. Utterly idiotic.

I’m trying to find a way to spin this so that I can legally split lanes
Nope. This is it. Out of all the things the NDP have done. THIS is the one thing that will bring them down.
Step 1) Start your own religion
Step 2) Claim lane splitting is your religious right
Step 3) ???
Step 4) Profit
