As a motorcyclists we often find that we are forced to remove our helmets when filling our motorcycles with fuel. In some cases helmets can cost up to £500, yet we are persistently told we must remove them and either balance them on the seat where they can be blown off, or we must put them on the dirty floor to soak up water and spilt fuel (that can also weaken the structure of the helmet) This petition aims to make major UK fuel suppliers aware of the number of bikers this effects, and that if they persist in making us remove helmets then they need to provide somewhere clean, stable and safe for us to put helmets while we re-fuel.

Please re-share, post to forums, sites etc etc.

The momentum behind this is undeniable. It is clear that fuel suppliers can no longer ignore the issue of helmet safety.

YES! My helmet has fallen off the seat twice now because of the wind. Super annoying and hard on the visor.

About time someone brought this up. It makes zero sense to force us to put expensive safety gear on a dirty wet floor.

Ridiculous that I have to drop my helmet on the floor while paying. It cost me 400 quid and the forecourt is covered in oil. Just give us a hook ffs.
