Rejected petition Make it law for cyclist to wear protective helmets and reflective wear.
Rejected on
In 1988, before protective helmets wear available, I was involved in a serious bicycle accident resulting in fractures to my skull.
Every year more than 100 cyclists are killed and more than 3,000 seriously injured on British roads – the majority by motorists.
Make it law to protect yourselves!
