PSA. Helmet debate on Radio 2 now.

It’s on the Jeremy Vine show. It’s half way through already although it will be available for a week.

can you paraphrase the highlights for us?

Ahh Yes the Jeremy Vine show, the home of reasoned and informed debating….

Let me guess, we’re all a danger to ourselves and everyone else and should be licenced/insured/Taxed off the roads?

Or something of that ilk…

Ahh Yes the Jeremy Vine show, the Radio equivalent of STWhome of reasoned and informed debating….

Doesn’t he do the helmet thing every year? I’m sure it was about this time last year he did it.

To be fair, JV did mention some of the more esoteric facets of the debate – perceived vs actual safety, space given by car drivers, all that.

Having said that, the Jeremy Vine show’s stock-in-trade is mis- or under-representing the argument, which was managed quite nicely overall.

As ever, the single biggest omission is that all kinds of road users are killed every year, but some groups are targeted for helmets whilst others aren’t.
