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.
