The DVSA market monitoring unit has carried out tests in an independent laboratory specializing in motorcycle helmet tests.
The magistrates concluded that there was a high degree of guilt and determined that there was a high risk of damage to consumers. Bikers Lifestyle LTD must also eliminate all non -compliant products from its range.
In addition, it was necessary to recall the helmets sold which do not comply with British safety standards.
The company was forced to pay several fines which include £ 4,000 for headset offenses (£ 1,000 per headset), £ 1,500 for eye protection offenses (£ 500 per article), £ 2,000 in victim overload, £ 2,694 of prosecution fees. Overall, fines and costs have reached £ 10, 194.
In charge of the DVSA survey manager, Sadie Clarke said: “Helmets and lower quality glasses have a very real and significant risk for any cyclist who uses them.
“Tests on the items sold by Bikers Lifestyle LTD have shown that they would be unable to offer the necessary protection required in the event of an accident and the consequences could be catastrophic.”
