There is an article in this months The Road ( magazine of the Motorcycle Action Group ) about The Dept of Environment in N Ireland launching a public consultation on a proposal to make the wearing of helmets mandatory for riders and/or drivers of , and passengers on , motor tricycles used on public roads .
This apparently follows a similar consultation about helmets on quad bikes , which has resulted in compulsory helmet use being included in a Bill currently going through the N Ireland Assembly process .
Is this the start of a slippery slope ?! ....
