Medicine Hat man pushes for equality in regarding motorcycle helmets
MEDICINE HAT — When it comes to riding a motorcycle or even a bicycle, helmets have been proven to save lives.
In April, Alberta became the third province to allow members of the Sikh religion to ride motorcycles without a helmet.
Area resident Troy Fandrick said if members of the Sikh religion don’t have to wear a helmet, he shouldn’t have to either.
“A law by definition is a rule, adopted by the citizens and applies to all its citizens. Now, the Minister of Transportation has decided that some people are entitled to make the choice to wear their helmet or not, without any extra qualification.”
