The Parliamentary Committee on Transport discussed on Thursday the mandatory use of helmets on bicycles.
Marinos Mousiuttas, Chairman of the Committee and DPA MP, noted that until now there was no such provision, which has been approved by the Committee and will be in the Plenary. There will also be an extrajudicial regulation of 50 euros if someone does not use the helmet, he added.
Charalambos Theopeptou, President of the Movement of Ecologists-Civic Co-operation, said that he is against the compulsory use of helmets, specifying that it should be compulsory for children aged 14 and under. "We want the state to recommend that people should wear helmets, but it should not be compulsory for all cyclists," he concluded."
