Reply to comment by nsfdrag in Optimum: Dozens of fiber lines slashed in act of vandalism impacting Fairfield County customers by jaydecay123
The GoNetSpeed coverage ends at both ends of my street, but doesn't cover anything in the middle because of underground lines. In that short distance they could still offer 1Gbs to everyone on my street if they were allowed to tap into the underground copper but if I had to guess, they can't do that because of line ownership. It's all a bunch of bullshit.

As a motorcycle rider, I think you are absolutely insane to not wear a helmet. However, as with most things, I don't see how this is the government's business!
As a side note, with the absolutely massive bugs and moths I have had to scrape off of my screen, how the hell do you non-helmet guys deal with it?

Automated fines are just a money grab. They fine the owner of the car, not the actual driver who broke the law.
Helmets should be required. We have to wear seat belts, and helmets on pedal bikes, why not helmets on motorcycles? Not wearing a helmet on a bike should result in your health insurance denying any claims from a crash. If you refuse to wear a basic safety device proven to reduce injuries, you can pay your own hospital bills.

I mean the helmet law is whatever, but the camera aspect has to go.

Not a fan of any electronic surveillance, and we already have far too much in this country. However, I do not have a problem with helmet laws as they are there for your own protection.

So the people who choose not to work, sit home and collect federal or state aid continue to contribute nothing?

>I just want a stipulation that if you ride without a helmet and turn yourself into a vegetable after an accident that you waive your right to disability payment
That would be great, but I doubt it would be seriously taken up for reasons. I'm also not a fan of speed/red light cameras because the companies that make them generally do not like releasing the source code, which is problematic if you're defending yourself against a ticket.

I just want a stipulation that if you ride without a helmet and turn yourself into a vegetable after an accident that you waive your right to disability payment. Cameras are tough. There’s the exit ramp from rt8 in Shelton at the top of Warner hill. Every morning two or three people run the red. I’ve seen so many accidents there. Things like a camera would definitely stop that but i don’t love a computer just spitting out tickets.

A car is practically a necessity in CT, if you want to make a living, at least.
