Completely agree. It's the same type of argument/reasoning that means our daughters shouldn't go out wearing short skirts and skimpy tops and enjoy a drink and a good time with their friends, because they're just asking to be felt up or worse. Bollocks!
We need to stop passing responsibility onto (potential) victims. I for one would argue with the school for my childs right to choose to wear helmet or not.

any debate / concern about road safety without mentioning drivers and car use is counterproductive. this is what i think the school brass and by all accounts many of you are missing. appeasing this bullshit in anyway is merely an exercise in blame shifting. what's their reaction going to be when some poor little sod gets clattered and is wearing a helmet? his fault because they weren't wearing hi viz?
