This report
“(1) That quad bike riders are not required to wear crash helmets when driving on public roads.”
Later report
“In light of the pathologist's comments, | am concerned that the absence of any legal requirement for quad bike drivers to wear crash helmets even where such bikes have been legally adapted for road use presents a continuing and potentially avoidable risk of deaths”
