Ride share bikes, helmet laws and the blind eye

[stirk]

I just saw a bloke getting pinged by a policeman for not wearing a helmet. He was on a privately owned bike.

Ride share bikes and the users of them on the other hand seem to enjoy the blind eye of the police as most riders of these dodgy poorly maintained bikes cruise about sans helmet. The revenue the police could get daily from the ride share bikes is massive but do they target hot spots where these bikes are heavily used, no.

I've seen beat police completely ignore ride share riders but then see this poor bloke on his own bike get pinged.

Are ride share bikes going to erode helmet laws or just continue to be immune to them?

Anyone been finef on a ride share with no helmet?

What the law is has no bearing on my liddedness

The big legal issue with these bikes is litter. They are often left strewn about the place like all our other trash

I wear a helmet religiously. My kids have had ‘wear a helmet ‘ drummed into them from day dot. I’ve turned the corner on compulsory helmet law. I no longer agree with its compulsoryness. Ditch it. Doesn’t mean that law no longer exists at my house though.
