So, on what they called "cycle safety day", the AA gave away free helmets and high visibility bibs to cyclists using the "Borisbikes" in London, saying:
It is envisaged that London users will keep the helmets and vests in their offices so that they are available for impromptu cycle rides in the capital.We're delighted by this, and, because motorists are at a far greater risk of head injury than are cyclists, we've decided to practice what we preach and will be seen speeding around the streets of Aberdeen "City and Shire" wearing our motoring helmets at all times.
Davies Craig recommends you wear your Motoring Helmet at all times when motoring but particularly at the following, documented high-risk times:
- After consuming any alcohol.
- When other drivers are likely to have consumed alcohol especially 4:00PM to 2:00AM Fridays and Saturdays.
- After dark and during twilight.
- In rain or when the roads are wet.
- During long trips when you may become tired.
- Within five kilometres of your home or destination.
- Christmas, Easter and long weekends.
- If you are aged under 25 or over 60.
And, because we believe that children are the future, we recommend the use of babyhelmets at all times below the age of 9:
Another great post!
