I think it hasn't occurred to most people, including myself, but I would bet that some type of ad campaign might get the ball rolling. Though, I'd bet there would need to be scientific studies done that showed wearing a helmet during a crash would significantly improve your chances of not being seriously injured or killed during an accident. Unless someone could show a major statistical advantage I don't think most people would think wearing a helmet was worth the discomfort. Look at the seat-belt. It's a fact they help hugely in an accident and some people still, foolishly, refuse to wear one.

I only wear a helmet in a car when I go racing, since that's what the rules require.

Anyone else annoyed my new bright headlights on cars?

A helmet will not do anything but mess your hair. There are already enough safety features, plus, I am a very safe driver too.

I'M at fault!?! Car accident?

Cars are designed with not enough headroom. It is easier to look around with no helmet. It is much safer to wear a seatbelt and buy a car with a lot of airbags, especially the newer airbags in the last few years. There are "side curtain" airbags specifically designed to protect your head, and headrests work best with your head in them, not a huge piece of foam.
