Can you get done for not wearing a helmet?

On the cycle paths, next to the River Clyde. Not on the road. Could a
dodgy plod come over and issue me a ticket?

Thanks.

No but the rest of us will probably come over and skelp you with a belt
to shut you up. Now back under your bridge laddie.

Of course he could, and you should be able to have lots of fun with it
in the courts.

Absolutely not. You are not required by law to wear a cycling helmet
anywhere in Britain, under any circumstances at all. If you are racing
under UCI rules, then you are required to wear a helmet; but only by the
UCI's rules, not by the law.

Morning had broken, and there was nothing left for us to do
but pick up the pieces.

Check the Troll-o-meter Simon... A more apposite question might have
been "can a doctor have me locked up for not having a brain?"

Thank you for your answer.

Always a possibility -- certainly anything is possible. Police think
they are above the law and think they can do anything they like.

See my earlier post regarding my friend's incident with the police.

An absolute worse than a police-state situation, what a sham!
