There is 100% compliance with the law and you will stick out like a sore thumb if you are not wearing one . Non-wearers have usually nicked the bike !
There is a group called the Motorcycle Action Group or MAG for short who have protested against the helmet law since it came out but frankly I don't think there is any real prospect of a change in the law .

No [url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-allows-sikhs-to-ride-motorcycles-without-helmet-1.4858361]helmet exemptions in the U.K.? Perception is sometimes the U.K. is way ahead in liberal laws than other first world nations. However, I view every rider should wear a helmet.
Ontario has been loosening up for some decades now. Back in 1996 it was no longer illegal for women to walk around topless. In 2018, marijuana is no longer treated as an offence.
