Roll the Dice

Dorthy Lynette Rushton, 40, of Ft. Myers, Fla., loved to ride her motorcycle. She didn't like helmets, though, and worked hard to get the state's mandatory helmet law repealed. It was, as of last month. But before the month was out, Rushton failed to stop at a stop sign and hit another motorist, throwing her from her bike. A Florida Highway Patrol investigator said alcohol was a factor in the accident, and that Rushton probably would have survived had she been wearing a helmet.
