Helmet versus nude melon

[pinkpanda3310]

Isn't there a loophole in the law regarding kids? You can't charge them with a traffic infringement because there a minor?

I wear a helmet all the time and if my kids intend to go furhter than the driveway they do too, even for scooters. The law doesn't bother me since I ensure we all wear helmets but when it was introduced I have to admit I wasn't keen on the idea. Too young and too cool for a helmet I never really spent much time without one really, since mum made me wear the ol' stakhat from an early age.

What brings this subject up? Having more debates in your area?

Yep. There has been a recent crackdown by Police in NSW & VIC, which has brought out cries of foul play from certain elements

The most vocal appears to be this group http://crag.asn.au/ who claim to have 'done the research' & have posted complimentary reports to their website. The so called research/reporting itself looks poor to me & makes significant generalisations which skews the statistics into results that to me are virtually worthless

I'm with everyone who's posted here & have seen first hand some seriously injured riders who were either not wearing a helmet or a poorly designed/fitting helmet
