Story in our local Daily mail owned rag:
http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Helmet...-says-mother/story-26529401-detail/story.html
Typical reaction from the paper. They carried a story two years ago about a girl who jumped on a bike, failed to check the brakes and hit a coach fracturing her shoulder. Helmet compulsion called for in that story plus the article mentioned the word helmet eight times and brake failure (the real cause of the accident) only once!. A helmet would have never prevented the accident.
In this story, the mother is now calling for compulsion and yet her son was actually walking with the bike. His road crossing skills would seem to leave a lot to be desired too.
