Question 8042
For cyclists, wearing a helmet...
- considerably reduces the likelihood of suffering head injuries.
- has no effect on the injuries they may suffer.
- completely eliminates the likelihood of suffering head injuries.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: considerably reduces the likelihood of suffering head injuries.
A helmet greatly reduces the risk of injuring your head if you fall or crash, but does not eliminate it completely. It is required on roads outside built-up areas, and the cyclists in the image are wearing helmets. Cyclists under 16 must wear one on all roads.
