Can people who have an appropriate medical certificate be exempt from using a helmet when riding a bicycle?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
People who have an **appropriate medical certificate** may be exempt from wearing a helmet when riding a bicycle, as long as the certificate indicates this. This applies **on all roads**, regardless of whether they are urban or interurban.
- Two or three-wheeled vehicles, such as bicycles, are more fragile and their riders are more exposed to injuries in the event of an accident. Therefore, wearing a helmet is generally required for protection.
- However, there are exceptions to this rule. If a person has a medical certificate justifying not wearing a helmet, they may ride without it on any type of road.
- It is important that the medical certificate is specific and valid, clearly indicating that the person is exempt from wearing a helmet for health reasons.
In summary, wearing a helmet is mandatory for safety, but a medical certificate can exempt a person from this obligation on all roads, as long as the document specifies it.
