Rejected petition Make the wearing of a helmet whilst cycling compulsory.

I would like the government and parliament to make the wearing of a helmet compulsory when out cycling. I still see too many people cycling without a helmet. Adults put helmets on children but don’t wear one themselves? It’s not only ridiculous but completely irresponsible.

More details

To protect people from sustaining life threatening injuries or even death. Prevent children from losing a parent and prevent parents from losing a child.
