Safe Road Behaviour Vs Hearing Safety Equipment

If any one has seen what goes on London, it is mostly those who are wearing Helmets that are going to get hit as they do not abide by the other rules. Riders who wear helmets think that because they can not hurt their head, they can ride how they like, where as riders who do not a helmet, have to be aware that they can hurt their head and so have to ride with consideration for others.
Also a Helmet will not stop the damage or suffering to the bike, the other vehicle or the other Person. Later on, you will meet Robert, who gets Made Incontinent by George, You will also hear about a few other people.
ALL NAMES in the story are FICTIONAL

I went down a hill at High Speed on two occasions, Once with wearing a Helmet, and once not. On the occasion I was wearing one I was, I thought I was going to Fall off the back and when it came to stopping, I did not think I was going to Stop in Time. (I put this down to the extra weight going forward,) so put my feet down locked them under the pedals and then stopped Far Too Early and Nearly Got Hit by the car behind and then had to ride a good couple of Car lengths. On the occasion when I was not wearing a helmet, I could feel the wind in my hair and did not have to counter any feeling like going to fall of the back of my bike so I had a much better Idea of how fast I was travelling. When It came to stopping, I stopped using only my brakes and feet were down once I got nearer to the Give Way Line ready for that possible stop if I was going to need to do so. I did actually stop and at the exact point I wished and the Car driver rolled to a stop behind me.

Something About Cycle Helmets – The BLUE Story. The RED I have decided to NOT Publish as the blue Story better portrays Forgiveness.

Robert

12 Year Old Boy Who Stands Behind Bus (Hansom According to Anne)

George

12 Year Old Cyclist & Robert’s Classmate

Anne

Robert’s Mother

Simon

George’s Best friend (Also 12 Years Old)

Susan

George’s Mother

Jane

Robert’s 15 year old Sister (Pretty According to Anne)

Peter

George’s Father

Andrew

Jane’s Friend’s Brother



Robert and George enjoy working with each other in class, but don’t really spend much time together outside of the classroom due to different interests. Their relationship was a mutual one. George hates wearing a cycle helmet as he finds them very uncomfortable, he has had accidents both when wearing a helmet and also when not, and has not sustained anything more serious than a headache. He has had more near misses when wearing a helmet and he takes more risks to speed up his journey as it is that uncomfortable. George’s best friend, Simon, says “he is safer not wearing one due to his behaviour when he is wearing one”. Susan says “he must wear one”, while his Peter “He Alone should decide whether or not to wear one and MUST know both sides of the argument.”

Usually at this junction George slows down to about 12 miles per hour so that he has time to manage the risks properly (vehicles pulling out, pedestrians crossing on his green and people standing behind the bus) and the wind is stronger here then anywhere else on his journey. On this occasion it was a really hot day and the helmet was REALLY uncomfortable so he was sprinting to get home so that he could take his helmet off as soon as possible, he achieved 22 miles per hour. As he attempted to take the bend the wind caught him slightly off guard and sent him into the Filter Lane for Car Park and Bus Stop. As he attempted to get back into the main lane, he found that the wind was too strong and he was not able to move far enough over to avoid hitting the back of the bus. He also did not have enough time to stop. Robert was standing at the offside corner – oops


BANG


Robert was rushed to Hospital with a severe head injury, George also went for a check up. George got away with only a headache which lasted a couple of hours and therefore he was then sent home. Robert however never [fully] recovered, and [he was left incontinent].

George knew that he had hurt Robert, and something bad had happened. He also knew that Robert’s sister Jane blamed him for it. However he did not have the confidence to apologise to [Robert]. He asked his [Peter & Susan] if one of them go around to Robert’s house with him to apologise, find out what had happened and if Jane was telling the truth, and to explain his side of the story. [Susan and George] went round to Robert’s house to do those things. [Robert was] happy with the explanation and so were Anne and Michael. They forgave George, however Jane didn’t, she sought to get revenge on George and asked her friend’s brother, Andrew to scare and hurt George. [Robert was] unhappy about this and told Jane to apologise to George, she didn’t so she was not picked up when she missed the bus one night and had to wait for the next bus which in two hours time. Then she apologised to George [and Robert] and [they both] forgave her.

They all lived happy ever after.


If these bods are so convinced that {Helmets Save Lives} then why not start Introducing them for Pedestrians too. I could just as easily Slip or trip while walking to bus stop and hurt my head. In Lanzarote I lost balance due to a strong Wave but hurts my Hands and One Knee - This occasion I was in the sea - WITH NO BIKE.


When is the police AND Government going to tell THE NATION THE TRUTH about ALL Safety devises. Seatbelts have Killed a few people - Granted they have saved more lives and they have lost but People Should make up their own minds.
