Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

This ruling seems to make perfect sense to me and i can't understand why so many of you are against it.
It doesn't remove or restrict freedom of choice, it still allows that but it will make individuals take responsibility for the choices THEY make.
If you walk to work and one day you choose to do so barefoot and on the way to work you cut the soles of your barefeet on broken glass, rough paving stones etc whose fault is it?
It's yours for coming out the house wi nae shoes on.
The article states that the only thing that your not wearing a helmet will affect is the compensation you receive. It is not exonerating anyone that may have been the cause of the accident in which you injured your head which YOU chose not to protect from being guilty of dangerous driving etc.
Fucking compensation culture is half the reason this country is in the nick it is in.

i call bullshit.

if you are following the law and someone hits you, what you get in compensation shouldn't depend on fashion. now if i am riding and i fall on my own and hit my head, then perhaps there the insurance company should have a case.
