That's a pretty good analogy.
Yes it is! I'm going to use that in classes.

Not to create thread drift, but you will also get a kick out of Delaware's helmet law. It must be in your possession, but doesn't have to be worn if your are over 19.
Part III. Operation and Equipment. Chapter 41. Rules of the Road. Subchapter XI. Miscellaneous Rules. Section 4185:
" . . . (b) Every person operating or riding on a motorcycle shall have in that person's possession a safety helmet approved by the Secretary of Public Safety and shall wear eye protection approved by the Secretary; provided, however, that every person up to 19 years of age operating or riding on a motorcycle shall wear a safety helmet and eye protection approved by the Secretary."
When I lived on the East Coast I could never figure out why they would pass a law like this. Most Motorcycle wrecks I have witnessed did not provide the opportunity to dawn a helmet.
