<p>Government policy is that cycle helmets offer a degree of protection for cyclists
in the event of a fall from a bicycle and some types of collisions. This is in line
with the Highway Code rule 59 which states <em>“you should wear a cycle helmet which
conforms to current regulations, is the correct size and securely fastened”</em></p><p>
</p><p>We encourage the use of helmets by all cyclists and in particular by children.</p><p>However,
people and parents are free to choose whether to follow this advice and we have no
plans to legislate to introduce a mandatory requirement for the wearing of cycle helmets.</p><p>
