What the petition asks

We are all families that have been brought together by the distressing experience of having our children involved in serious road traffic collisions while cycling.
The children who had worn Cycle Helmets sustained significantly less head trauma as opposed to those not wearing a helmet which resulted in TBI (traumatic brain injury)
