Are helmets mandatory with bicycle?
Can anyone point me to the rules if helmets are mandatory to ride bicycle, kick scooter, electric scooter and electric bikes. If such are mandatory then shouldn't companies that provide fillari or electric scooter services also include hemlet in the package?

The mentioned subsection is a recommendation (breaking has no consequences). It’s a long discussion whether such recommendations should be put to legislation at all.

Does it have any legal consequences regarding compensation claims when you get hit by a car that is at fault for the accident, and sustain brain injuries you wouldn't have had if following the recommendation?betelgeuse wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 3:58 amThe mentioned subsection is a recommendation (breaking has no consequences).

It would not. It would be paid by the mandatory insurance for the car. Even without a third party I assume this article is still true.FinlandGirl wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 5:37 pmDoes it have any legal consequences regarding compensation claims when you get hit by a car that is at fault for the accident, and sustain brain injuries you wouldn't have had if following the recommendation?betelgeuse wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 3:58 amThe mentioned subsection is a recommendation (breaking has no consequences).
