I always wear 'proper' gear. Good leathers, good boots, good helmet, good gloves...but I don't need a law passing to make me wear them (apart from the helmet), I do it through choice. I would wear a helmet from choice too, if it wasn't compulsory.

I'm not sure that passing a law requiring everyone to wear 'proper' gear is neccessary...............with one caveat. I would like to see a law passed requiring that all minors should be properly kitted out if travelling on a bike. Adults can make their own choices, kids trust their parents to make them for them, and I've seen far too many kids who's parents just don't seem to think it'll 'ever happen to them'.
