Knob - possibly! But I think he was trying to say since it was a small town, enforcement are little less severe. I personally think it will be nice to have little flexibility.

Just wondered whether bikers/people living in rural areas of UK want the flexibility of wearing helmet for certain low speed roads. I am from London and obviously road are usually busy here and such flexibility will not happen I guess. My reasoning is from Asian or African countries where people in rural areas do not wear anything as speed is always less than 30mph. I bought my Honda CBR125R from Leeds recently from a prison guard. I was surprised to see that he was using bike without front L plate (Yes, he was a learner at that time). When I asked, he said things are different in the north (I loved that)!
