The results of the Government’s latest safety initiative, SHARP, has caused a mixed reaction from the UK’s helmet importers with some discrediting the scheme and others supporting it.
SHARP (the Safety Helmet Assessment and Rating Programme) was launched last year at the NEC show with a target of saving the lives of 50 riders a year through an independent rating system of how much protection a helmet has. SHARP would test all the lids currently available in the UK at a test facility and give them a star rating from one to five. One being the lowest, five the highest. This, the Government believe, will make choosing the safest lid easier for bikers.
