Maybe he intended to use the helmet as a weapon.

For every cyclist, there are hundreds, thousands, maybe tens of thousands of motorists, many of whom are not wearing seatbelts, traveling at average speeds and distances much greater than most cyclists. I don't know if you can really compare these numbers.
Does Canada have a mandatory seatbelt law?
