One again a parent believes that helmet saves a kids life because
She was shocked while driver her kid to school to see so many kids without helmet. At least the article did mention that the 'car' (not 'the driver' of course)'came round the corner very quickly' Now in a place where lots of cyclists are riding to school (with or without helmets); to me it's much more shocking that drivers was speeding round a blind corner. So why oh why doesn't the kids mum ask for driver to slow down rather than asking the kids to wear helmets? Is that such a strange conclusion to draw? To me it's basic risk managment. Act to remove the source of risk not demand PPE as a first resort.
Crazy
