Petition Action

Make it a legal requirement to wear a helmet on trikes and quad bikes

Petition Details

I was in a trike crash which killed my boyfriend, who was driving. I woke up in hospital with serious injuries and two policeman by my bed. They said wearing a helmet on a trike was not a legal requirement. But I don't want anyone else to go through what myself, my boyfriend and our families have.

Additional Information

Helmets are only compulsory for motor bicycles, not motor tricycles.

Motor Cycles (Protective Helmets) Regulations 1988.
Statutory Instrument 1998 No 1807.
