My dad won't let me get a motor scooter b/c I don't wear a helmet...?

jus twear the helmet. You will be safer, and you ca nget a cool ride.

I have to wear mine when i go on bike rides, but what i do is if i am actually going somewhere, i take it off, untill they are out of sight, then wen i am coming close to home, i ut it back on.

I have 4 boys who are 13, 13, 11 and 8 and they all wear helmets for both bikes and scooters and skateboards as well. They have friends who are not forced by their parents to wear them but I have always told them that I don't understand why other parents would not force it for their child's own safety. It's because I care about them that I make them wear it and they know it. When my kids skateboard I actually make them wear all the padding even my oldest two because they go on ramps and all. My 11 yr old and one of my 13 yr olds had a collision one day. One of them was scootering and one was biking and they collided by accident. My 13 yr old was on the bike and he had a scrape on his chest and hands where he landed and my 11 yr old who was on the scooter had a huge scrape on his helmet at the front. If he hadn't had the helmet that injury would have been on his head rather than the helmet.

He wants you to wear the helmet to protect you from others that would be on the road but be original and you can have a helmet everyone will envoy. You can look at pictures from the Sturgis run, for example, and see any helmets there you like, perhaps go on eBay and see what is there,or paint it red, white, and blue and be patriotic. How about a picture of your favorite band name painted on it. you could paint it white and paste a small chicken on top of an egg. Be original and people will admire your creativity and admire you rather than think you a dork.

Wear the goddamn helmet. You might be a good driver, and the scooter might balance itself, but you can't tell about other cars.

If you think that it makes you look like a dork, don't worry about it. If I was a gal, I wouldn't be thinking about how you are wearing a helmet, I would be thinking that I would just like to ride on your scooter with you!!

I'm glad your dad is not letting you get a scooter if you won't wear a helmet! He obviously loves you and wants to see you grow up...

It is truely dangerous to ride without a helmet! It is there to make sure you survive and don't end up...well - lets not go there!

"it makes you look like a dork" . . what a dumbass YOU are for not wearing a helmet. At least if you die from a head injury, there is a waiting list for your organs.

my son was like you only he didn't want to wear one on his bike because he looked like a dork-but the day he wrecked it he thanked me for making him look like a dork because he knew that his head would've been split in two instead of the helmet-still had to get stitches though

Wear a helmet. It will protect what little brains you already have left.

Culling the herd.
