Bike helmets are for safety but reading the article the ban is more for some kind of societal change. I don’t know if it’s really comparable.

I think parent's _want_ to keep kids in helmets and away from social media. But the pressure is some times high when Joe can ride without helmet, or can use TikTok. A law really helped the bike helmet thing at least. That they are fundamentally different I think doesn't matter since the peer pressure thing and what parents want is the same.
