Back in the 70s, when my dad bought his first tiny car, a Datsun B210, he wore a helmet every time he drove it. He was an aeronautical engineer who (we'd find out later) was suffering from the beginning stages of early-onset Alzheimers. He also started installing seat belts in all his cars in the 50s. He was an odd mix of ahead of his time and just plain weird.

Wearing a brain bucket or a Corvette Racing cap with Jake on the side while driving your Vette on highways and byways will diminish your chance of getting a warning from law enforcement. Don't ask.........
