Stats arwnt as black and white as you think, hence the random syats all over this thread and especially injurylawyers4u.
The point being coloured in is the stats will alway show whatever the stats are meant to.
The misquoted us stats of a 100000 sample prove that.
The information wasnt there but the OP 'found' it anyways.
And, again, I shouldve reread my post and made it more clear.
Altho, really, being told I have to wear a helmet isnt gonna stop me riding my bike. Even sometimes without a helmet *gasp+
Just like lights, brakes, insurance, MOT, TV licence, underage drinking etc.
The only argument against wearing helmets (i dont) is drivers will think you are safer and put you in more unsafe situations.
But you can counter that by being aware of that fact and acting accordingly/rationally.
Cyclist having to wear helmets or outlawing them entirely will solve nothing, even less so overnight.
