Help me out here, please, I’m in a debate with a friend.
I probably shouldn’t have said anything, but I mentioned to her that I’d noticed her little boy rides his scooter without a helmet.
He rides it from her house to school every day, there and back. They cross one main road and several small side roads. He’s a sensible boy, 8 years old, mum is always with him but he scoots ahead of course like all kids do.
I’ve always made my young son wear a helmet, and apparently she thinks that I’m basically a weirdo for it, not in those words but that was the gist.
She thinks I’m being over the top about safety and that kids scooters are not dangerous, if they fall they’ll just skin their knee.
