Don't object at all.

IMO, your a moron and don't have much self respect (or for family/partners) if you go out without adiquate clothing.

I was brought up by a dad who was knocked off/had a fair few accidents in his time. Amount of times protection has saved him from much worse injuries (like seizing his bike coming into Paddock Hill at Brands at well over a tonne ).

Likewise I've fallen off my pushbike to many times. Wrist protectors, knee and elbow pads & a helmet should be law.

I'd get my haircut tomorrow but i'm afraid they might catch me with the scissors - Ahh! Help us mr Brown! (shall I make the cheque payable to Harriet Harman?)

As Northy already said, take it too far and it's not enforcable. All you could add to the current law would be jacket trousers and glove "designed for the purpose", which would be pointless as the stuff you buy in Lidl for 30 quid would be adequate. Even cheaper stuff would be manufactered and branded as a "protective motorcycle jacket"

Don't think you have much respect for anybody really, do you? I've got enough self respect to know that I wouldn't portray myself in that manner on a public forum.
