With all the problems in our state why was this a priority?

I don't agree with that thinking. Our lawmakers are capable of doing more than one thing at a time.

Yes, this may raise our rates, however, to me it makes sense. We shouldn't be mandating people's decisions.

What? No, we're talking about the Michigan Legislature here. I think you're confusing them with some other lawmaking body.

what about minors? hopefully minors will still be forced to have headwear [[and hopefully a jacket of some kind)..

Driving is a privilege is the first thing you learned in drivers Ed. It is not a right. My biggest concern is having all these new wards of the state especially if the unlimited medical coverage is reduced like some bills in the legislature are trying to do.
