Scary stuff - complaint to the ASA

My helmet probably saved me from very serious injury when I came off earlier this week.

But, I can't remember what happened; although the evidence points to my being hit from behind - so I'm not sure if my wearing a helmet contributed to a driver not being as careful around me as he/she should have been.

People who complain about helmets and adverts really are looking for things to complain about.

I wouldn't have a mum right now if she hadn't been wearing a helmet in february when she was hit head-on by a rangerover (total accident, neither party was responsible). This is reason enough for me to wear a helmet, because I'd hate for my mum to be saying the opposite ('I would still have a son if he'd been wearing a helmet' etc).

I am still sceptical about the protection offered by most cycling helmets, and various rumours regarding the fact that they aren't guaranteed for crashes over 15mph or whatever is worrying. But a son's duty to his mother to not get himself killed to death in London's dangerous London overrides all of these.
