The issue of mandatory cycle helmets is highly contentious. The aim of this paper is not to argue for or against legislation but to suggest criteria on which the debate should focus. This is done by attempting to answer the question: 'What criteria must be met before cycle helmet wearing is enforced?' Consideration is given to principles, precedents and consequences and four criteria are suggested. The criteria are to do with effectiveness, personal liberty, public acceptability and the promotion of the public health benefits of cycling.
强制佩戴自行车头盔的问题极具争议性。本文的目的并非支持或反对立法,而是提出辩论应聚焦的标准。这通过试图回答以下问题来实现:“在强制佩戴自行车头盔之前必须满足哪些标准?”文中考虑了原则、先例和后果,并提出了四项标准。这些标准涉及有效性、个人自由、公众可接受性以及促进骑自行车对公众健康的益处。
