Ok with the recent accident, it brings up a very real issue..I live by willamette high school and many grade and middle schools..every day I see alot of kids under the age of 16 riding with out helmets, and with the high trafic and speeds that people go through the school zone on barger it is just a matter of time before this happens here, and it is a goign to be a kid that pays the price...the police im sure are much more concerened with other issues and see this as a small problem, but with the number of kids that are riding with out, and the number of cars that are on this road..its goign to happen, not a question of if, but when..sad thing is then it will make news, some parent telling everyone that there child was killed by a car, and how it is the fault of everyone but the parent who lets there child ride with out a helmet...its the law! maybe a ticket to a parent will help save a life?
