New York State Governor Mulls Car Helmet Compulsion To Discourage Motoring

[GOPerfect]

This is fucking awesome.

I can only say that I beg loudly for this asshole to push for and pass this measure. My gods man, do it!

Hell, while he's at it he should just mandate 5 point harnesses, HANS devices, and Wilwood race seats. Vehicle deaths would drop by at least 500%

Shit, then you'd have fewer people dying in car crashes, which would mean more drivers. What the hell? Let's do it anyway.

At what point do you rule him mentally incompetent to hold office?

I'd say right about here.

They smoke so much of their own shit, they actually think everyone else smokes it too... That everyone is on the same trip!

When will these fucking Politicians stop making the world better...? Is just ok if you leave it the fuck alone. But nooooooooo...

What a fucking doofus! Love the pic with the other douche, they make a fine pair!

What about public transportation? Busses? Subways? Taxis? Uber? Limos? I clicked on the link expecting it to be the onion or something.

At the same time, Cuomo is forcing Genesee County to build a new jail with another unfunded mandate.
The new jail will cost the county millions. The Genesee County Sheriff said that there is no need for a new jail
or increased staff in the jail...

Thought governor stupid wanted to close jails...

 

[wizrd]

I hope Cuomo gets the Nobel Peace prize - TODAY - POSTHUMOUSLY!

At the same time he killed the electric bike and scooter legalisation.

Damn you!

I totally misread this as "he got killed by an electric bike and scooter" and got my hopes up.

Welcome to New York, mandatory helmets, no pop/soda, high taxes, no freedom and definitely no fun.

You forgot home to everyone that isnt a citizen and anyone who doesn't want to work.

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo told a press conference on January 23 that cars were “paralyzing” New York City and that motoring had to be discouraged with measures such as congestion pricing. When one reporter asked him if he would mandate car helmets for motorists—a measure that would likely dampen demand for motoring—he did not laugh off the suggestion. Instead, he called for data on whether the measure could save lives.

These days ?

When he registered as a Democrat.

Mandate a 8" sharpened spike be mounted in the center of the steering wheel. That will stop the peons from driving.

Thought governor stupid wanted to close jails...

One of the reasons that Cuomo said that the county needs a new jail is because of overcrowding.
The Genesee County Sheriff says that's not the case. I will take my County Sheriff's word over Cuomo's.
If it wasn't overcrowded then... It certainly isn't now, with the new "no bail" law.

Cuomo says that the jail is not staffed properly. The Sheriff says that it is.
Sheriff Sharone has been employed by the Genesee County Sheriff's Dept. for 42 years.
I think that he has a better handle on the situation at the local jail than FUAC.

I think that FUAC does this shit only because he hates us... He wants to punish us.
Like other counties in this part of the state. We do not vote for him.
Most do not vote Democrat in general. Genesee County is a very red county.

Between the shoulder harness and the airbag(s) there is no reason to wear a helmet. IMO
But what do I know... Someone in the ER or an EMT may think otherwise... IDK

Another thing is, FUAC says that traffic congestion is the reason for him thinking about this.
Now, to me anyway... congestion means slow stop and go traffic. The key word is SLOW.
That's another reason this helmet thing is so stupid.

FUAC is a moron.

The wife mentioned that the ladies would not like this at all.

Ya know, the hair... They would spend their time to make it look good. Only to smoosh all down with a helmet... LOL

I hope that this actually becomes a law. I do not see that happening though. Even in NY / NYC.

In the back of my mind, I have wondered if FUAC would ever do something so stupid that his base would turn on him.
I just never imagined something like this possibly being it ... LOL

A law mandating that a helmet must be worn in passenger vehicle
That's about the stupidest thing that I have read in quite some time.

I have no clue what the hell this means?

 

[dsdmmat]

Wearing a Helmet in a car is a great way to get spinal cord injuries.

 

[ProgSpear]

Hey Monkeyface! Is this what you had in mind?

 

[Acer-m14]

Wearing a Helmet in a car is a great way to get spinal cord injuries.

Cuomo has been seen in his photo ops...

1.) Wearing a NY State Trooper Jacket.
2.) A NY State Emergency Services Jacket.
3.) Cuomo's vehicles are designated as an emergency vehicle, and thereby exempted from speed limits and other traffic regulations “when involved in emergency operations,”

At some point, we just may see him in one of these...

I was thinking "Even the NYS govt. isn't that stupid to pass a law as silly as this" Then I read the thread about needing a permit/license to look at the sky. They are that dumb. This helmet law is coming ASAP!!!
