 VF> Incorrect. Most serious head injuries are either

And most often caused by the face of the occupant hitting the windshield of 
the automobile.
 
 VF> Next, I expect our government to outlaw walking, 
 VF> because pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles 
 VF> breaking the law and failing to yield. Sorry, cars 
 VF> should be banned before helmets mandated. Without 
 VF> cars, the incidence of cycling injuries would plummet.
 
There are few big oil companies or medical insurance industry companies that 
will lobby for a ban on excessive automobiles, however.
It's not logic, it's lobbying.
