Number of road deaths remains high: ‘think about mandatory helmet use for cyclists’ | Car

If all cyclists wear helmets, this will save eighty cycling deaths a year. That explains the new director Martin Damen of the Institute for Scientific Research on Road Safety (SWOV) in an interview with this site. “From the age of 55, people get worse in their balance. Then you should not wait too long before wearing a helmet on the bike. A helmet on your bike from the age of 60? I say go for it!”
