I really don't care whether people wear a helmet or not... their choice...

Unless you are the guy who has to come along afterwards and clean someone's brain off the road. I'd say having to clean up after irresponsible people is having your life interfered with. I've gotta say I'm happy that Oz has legislation that makes safety things compulsory. Sometimes I think Americans take their "freedom" a little too seriously.

Perhaps we need to outlaw guns

You obviously don't watch funniest home videos - there is almost always a 4 wheel motor bike doing strange tricks (i.e. flipping over). 4 wheel bikes are inherently unstable - their center of gravity is just wrong...
