Enforcement of the city’s new crash helmet rule, slated to take effect on June 13, would be mainly educational initially, Transport Bureau (DSAT) official Kam Chun Kit said yesterday.
Kam made the remarks when speaking to reporters in Avenida Doutor Mário Soares near Praia Grande, where DSAT officials and Public Security Police (PSP) officers set up a roadblock to check motorcyclists’ crash helmets yesterday morning and promote the new rule.
In order to regulate the safety standards of the protective headgear, Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On promulgated an executive order on June 13 last year, which will take effect after a one-year transition period.
