Rejected petition Make wearing of helmets on push bikes law and the use of cycle paths reducing pressure on the NHS
I see the Senedd has brought in laws to protect pedestrians and cyclist from motor vehicles to save the NHS money, but cyclists refuse to wear helmets which will protect the cyclists brain. Also governments in the UK have spent a lot of taxpayers money on cycle paths but not made it law to use them where provide. Separating cyclists from motorist with the use of paths will greatly increase protection for cyclists and reduce accidents reducing pressure on the NHS.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.
Petitions to the Senedd must call for a specific action that falls within the powers of the Senedd or Welsh Government.
To prohibit a cyclist from using roads or enforce helmet wearing, an offence would need to be created. Welsh Government do not have the powers to do so as road traffic offences are reserved to the UK Government.
You may wish to consider petitioning the UK Parliament about this issue instead: https://petition.parliament.uk/
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards
