and don't even get started on proper adjustment.

For a helmet to work to spec, it has to fit and be adjusted right.

Ever hear of a person getting a ticket because their helmet was too big/too small or that the straps were too loose or not drawn right?

In our helmet legislation, there are requirements that specify which standard the helmet must adhere to, but that's never checked either.

Police said before the legislation passed that they couldn't give enforcement of this law any priority and after the initial period after it passed, for which the police were allotted extra funding for enforcement of this law, police rarely enforce it. In fact, estimates of usage rates now, are on par with usage rates pre-law.

What's the point of passing the law if it won't be enforced anyway?
