Correct answer
No.
No. When a helmet is required, it must be approved, properly fitted and fastened. An unfastened helmet can come off in an impact and lose its protection; injury is not presented as inevitable. Slow speed or urban riding does not permit leaving it unfastened. Article 118 contains specific exemptions, which do not authorise incorrect helmet use.
