Helmet laws for adults tend to reduce riders' willingness to use these services because they create inconvenience. In my opinion people should have the choice of whether or not to wear a helmet.
Personally, I usually wear a helmet, but if I happen to not have mine with me it won't stop me from taking a bike or scooter.
Having good situational awareness of surrounding cars, pedestrians, and other road users as well as stationary obstacles ahead of you provides much more safety than a helmet.
- Reedx 8y agoYeah, there are unintended consequences with requiring helmets. Fewer people ride bikes, which means less exercise and more car usage. Affecting health and the environment. Here's a good look at that for anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWhMEkMtLy0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWhMEkMtLy0
- baroffoos 8y agoI have never fallen off my road bike and I ride fairly fast (up to 50km/h) I still wear my helmet because at that speed a fall would be bad but if I was just having a slow ride with some friends to the pub there is really no need for a helmet.
