"Never ceases to amaze me how many people argue back in the comments. Sikhs fought along side of us in 2 world wars wearing turbans the whole time and you can see them in old reliefs on war memorials. Sadly many of our countrymen cant see the…"

"With great respect to the Sikhs, whos ideas I have alot of time for, there is nothing special about the beliefs that say a turban has to be worn, or for that matter, any of the other religious clothing demands of any of our religions. Perhaps…"

"Theres a bit of sour grapes too as he was booked without a seatbelt."

""their command told them to focus on it". This is the bit I would like to understand. Exactly what is going on here?"

"At southbank today the pedaltrike operators were helmetless and I dont think this can be by accident as they all had the same type of hat on as if it was part of a uniform. Are they free of the helmet requirement because of the frame around them or…"

"Just going back to Dans idea, a few times I have wondered if a bike with a trailer could be considered a 3 wheeled bike and then somehow organise to a be a paying passenger because you are allowed to be unhelmeted as a paying passenger on a 3…"

"Sounds depressingly, even disgustingly, like we have become a country intolerant of religeon now. The positive bit is that there is every chance that the authorities will have to grant this fellow his rights. A government does not treat…"

"Two adds just on telly now, one for optus the other for Kangaroo island tourism, and featuring bike riders not wearing helmets."

"Another answer is that we are already covering the costs of non-helmeted motorists. The research done for Victoria says that motor helmets would save half a billion $ a year. Nobody seems to have a problem with paying for that though. Fair is fair I…"

"There may be something in David Hembrows http://hembrow.blogspot.com.au/ a View from the cycle path.  "

"Its something I have long thought is one for the psychologists. 30 years ago I was sitting in a car in a one way lane in Melbourne when the driver in front opened his door on a rider. The bike squeeled to a stop but the funny thing was the attitude…"

"Interesting experience a couple of days ago while riding alone from Pakenham to Phillip Island. Going through Kooweerup, a town I am very familiar with as a rider having gone through with a peloton many times, a woman getting into her car on the…"

"Just to clarify. I always thought it was a strange add but perhaps volvo were hoping to get across the message that bloody volvo drivers exist because they dont have to try to be safe. Doesnt make the rest of us safer though."
