Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to make the wearing of safety helmets by drivers of quad bikes compulsory.

There are no immediate plans to make the wearing of helmets compulsory for tricycles/quad bikes but we are keeping the position under review; there are a number of factors that will need to be taken into consideration such as, the level of use, the safety of riders in a collision and the availability or otherwise of seat belts.
