Tasmanian helmet laws?

anyone could advise me whether helmets for bicycles are
compulsory or not?

They're compulsory in all states and territories. I don't
remember the full details, but the federal government forced the
issue years ago by tying grants to the passing of the
legislation. They all complied.

Damn, fooled me. Originally from Tas, but in Vic not for the real
estate. Much prefer riding a pedally over here though. Four eyes very
handy while cycling in heavy traffic.

Hello,
i am from Germany and i survived 8000 km without a helmet trough
Australia last year. ;-)
I do not want to start a new helmet-flame-war-thread here as it happens
in german newsgroups when somebody writes that helmets are/are not
reasonable.
The question i just want to ask you is: How does the majority of
Australien people think about the helmet law? Do most cyclists support
the law or not?

Regards
Jens

I just do what I am told. I do not have the money or the education to
undertake a study of my own to make a valid decision. I have to trust
(rightly or wrongly) what I am told by other people. Some will swear that
its more dangerous others less.

Strangely I know someone that swears that smoking is not bad for your health
and can site me all sorts of studies to back this up. Although the majority
say otherwise he is willing to take the word of a few to make his decision.
Just a case of denial my bet.
