I think your pessimism is unfounded. Licensing is far too complicated and expensive, irrational and not worth the few votes it might garner.
Oddly, and sadly, possibly the best safeguard against a helmet law is Boris Johnson as Prime MInister. Not a price worth paying, I agree. But again I don't see many votes in it for any politician and the arguments in favour are actually so flimsy that I can't see why anyone would risk trying to introduce it. Jersey is, politically, backwards and semi-feudal and isn't a sign of thins to come anywhere else.
