I remember being 15-16 years old and pushbike helmet laws were not long introduced. I was riding a long ride back home one afternoon wearing no helmet. Police drove by, stopped and pulled me over. He gave me a fine and told me to walk the bike. I protested and said I still had >10km to go. He told he'd drive by again (long straight road) and if he caught me riding they would impound the bike.

A better story.. my childhood best friend when he was also 15-16 was riding his pushbike one day, no helmet, along a suburban arterial road. There was a traffic accident up on the side my friend was riding and a policeman tending to someone. My mate stopped asked the policeman if there was anything he could do to help. The copper saw he wasn't wearing a helmet told him not to move, he'd deal with him in a sec. My friend took off. The police called other police and they chased him a few km's into a big local park we grew up playing in. To catch him they set a dog on him. A trucking dog, on a 16 year old kid for not wearing a helmet on his pushbike.

That was 30 years ago. And we all know its worse now. You live in a police state.

I ride my pushy up to the shops and never were a helmet.
In fact never owned one, surely that law hasn`t been around for 30yrs.
