Superglue, :)

Made (I suspect) for slower speed accidents and may afford little protection in an accident on a motorised vehicle.

Now that I could have accepted,although only lillies.See,perhaps if they gave everyone flowers who they pulled up for not wearing a helmet,what a fab place it would be.Still, fair cop,and I'm also gonna put me ands up for the Fulham blag!

do you have to where a helmet on a Quad bike? and is it
a fixed fine or do they just make one up?

I saw a British woman stopped for not wearing her helmet whilst riding her scooter yesterday next to the Dolphin roundabout,
if you flout this law they will be happy to stop you! be warned.

Yes, helmets are compulsory on quads too.

It's a fixed penalty but you get a discount for prompt payment.

Pay your fine at the Ziraat Bank, NOT on the spot.

You raise an interesting point KKOB,as the majority of people who use quad bikes are tourists,what happens if the fine is not paid due to the fact the miscreant has gone home.

The car hire company I use E mailed me a copy of a parking fine I had picked up in Hisaronu one year and I arranged payment via someone in H.But usually you have to give some sort of credit card as a deposit and iv'e heard of cases where they have taken fines or damage from that card to cover it.
