El Cerrito police say they're not just trying to make money off a law requiring bike helmets for all adults. And they say they'd rather warn people than fine them. That is, if they'll heed the warning.
I live in a country with compulsory helmet laws, and I can tell you it is a bad idea. It puts people off cycling, and bike helmets may only protect your head fron a fall, they dont do much for an impact with a car. If people do want safety talk to the real dangerous people, the motorists.
do NOT wear the helmet under any circumstance. Unless it is YOU and noone else making that decision. If you think it is an issue read as much information on the sujject as you can. Do not be intimidated
"Educate people?" A law doesn't educate. Laws restrict, sometimes for good, sometimes bad. I know of ZERO data proving the value of bike helmets and I would wager the new law arises from the fact that this is an election year.
The man at the start of the video was probably riding his bike before either cop was a gleam in their parents' eyes, yet they get to tell him he has to wear a helmet. Where did we go wrong as a nation?!
CVC 21212 know your laws people. El Cerrito is wrong in thinking they can trump California law. It's only law if your under 18.
