The Department of Transport
has encouraged the wearing of

made them mandatory for one
excellent reason — there was no
no set of standards that could
realistically 'be specified for the
kind of helmets to be worn, and
Without such standards a law to
preseribe helmets would be in-
effective.,
Recently the Canadian Stand-

These stondarcl and specifications
provide: an authoratiVe basis to
