Petition Action

Safety helmets should be compulsorily worn when cycling on public roads.

Additional Information

I feel that it should be made compulsory for all cyclist to wear safety helmets when cycling on public roads. I am in favour of personal choice but if car drivers must wear seat-belts and motor-cyclists must wear crash helmets then cyclists, the most vulnerable of road users, should be compelled to wear helmets also.
