Here too.

We only ordered pizza delivery once in a blue moon when we lived near town. Out here there is no such thing.

I’m renting a Kia Sportage PHEV and touring Ireland with it.
This car needs a lobotomy to be driven. Lane keeping assist that fights you for control, beeps at you every which way if someone is too close front back or side which they always are on the roads over here. Have to disable it every time I start the car. Locks you in the car, screams at you if you take the key with you to get out and snap a picture, and is otherwise just miserable to live with in a digital way. Drives nice otherwise and gets good mileage. I’m have a full rant brewing for the integration of nice to have features with basic car functionality, but will save it for another day.

I hear you. we rented a car in Ireland (midsize SUV no less) and you are right, the proximity sensor is basically going off constantly as the rock walls are so close. Was fun the couple of time we came head on towards a 1) tractor and 2) Fuel truck!

My wife always wore a helmet. Of all the families I see biking without helmets it's almost always mom not wearing one. Really?

I do not wear a helmet while bicycling. The day I'm forced to, I'll throw my bicycle through the front doors of the police station. Under 18? Fine. Mandatory for all? Bite me.

And, when I'm stateside on the Hawg & there is no helmet law, I don't wear one there either. Under 18? Fine. Mandatory for all? Bite me. Again...

I'm forced to wear a motorcycle helmet in Canuckistan. When I take it off entering Montana, I can assure you, I can see & hear better without it than with it. And, it's not building a false sense of security, either. Plus, few things make me laugh harder than when I see some young hot rod attired in shorts, muscle shirt & flip-flops on his crotch rocket, replete w/ his $1000 skull bucket.

In addition, before some of you go off all high & mighty about having to subsidize medical costs, etc., etc., etc., what about everyone who engages in risky behaviour, from smoking to drinking to doing drugs to all sorts of physical activity to flying to merely crossing the street and getting out of the bathtub?

Just like seatbelt laws or riding in a pickup bed or the myriad number of inane "laws" that don't need to be "law"

Yep. Funny any of us made it this far into adulthood, idn't it? Typical lawmakers: addressing the effect, rather than the cause.

Yep. I often think of kayaking in Arizona a few years ago, falling in, and the people around me panicking. I did a quick gear check, the essentials were there, and then responded telling them to calm down. I fell in a river and got wet. Good grief, I'll live.

Not exactly "law" related but that'll be next, no tipping kayaks into the river

Edit- we already have no tobogganing bylaws in some Ontario towns (no politics)
