COMPULSORY WEARING OF CRASH HELMETS
A misunderstanding has occurred over an item issued last Friday
dealing with the compulsory wearing of crash helmets for motorcyclists
and pillion passengers.
The original item referred to certain groups of people who
may be exempted from wearing the helmets on application to the Commissioner for
Transport.
This is true, but it must be pointed out that, under the regulations,
it is the individual who must apply for the exemption. There can be no
question of group exemption on the application of just one person.
Release Time: 7.00 p.m.
