Motorcycle helmet wearing –long term trend
• Helmet wearing has increased substantial since the 2007 helmet law and high wearing rates have been maintained since
BUT
• Issues of low helmet quality and not wearing helmets correctly have the potential to seriously impact the injury prevention potential of this legislation and the fact that the majority of motorcycle riders and passengers are wearing helmets

Helmet legislation loopholes
• Low wearing rate among children <16 years• 39%, 2008 (AIPF)
• 30%, May 2010 (HSPH & WHO)
• 21% December 2010 (HSPH & WHO)
• Many parents believe helmets are dangerous for children
• Adults can now be penalised however negligible enforcement
• Incorrect helmet wearing• Dec 15 law contained no ability to enforce unfastened
helmets
• Revised Nov 13 2008, police define un-fastened as un-worn
• Low quality helmet• Only 20% meeting standard (VINASTAS)
• Surveys in major cities estimate 30% & 45% meeting standards
• High use of banned “cap” style helmets
• New standards Nov 15 2008
