I agree with some of the ideas, but not all of them.
However, I feel torn on my stance on not allowing anyone under 21 to ride... why??? Because we live in America and if you can go to war and die for your country fighting for freedom, you certainly should be able to enjoy the freedom of riding a motorcycle when you come home from the war...
HOWEVER with that being said, one could make an argument for being able to drink alcohol at a younger age than 21 too, but we all know that it is not a good idea.
Same scenario here, although not quite equal, I too believe that not allowing "kids" to ride motorcycles until they are 21 would be doing them and their family and all the insurance customers who bare the burden of higher rates the favor by "saving themseleves from themselves." Just like the purpose of the drinking age minimum.
The problem with that is the slippery slope.... who's to say where it begins and ends? (insert the lesson from the Will Smith movie I-Robot).
Do I think it would be the best for everyone not to allow "kids" to ride motorcycles until they are 21, YES. Maturity level reasons, skill level reasons. Would I like it if I were under 21? No.
It would be interesting to see politicians duke it out over the pros and cons.
