In Brimfield Township, Ohio the police are writing tickets to children wearing their helmet. Good for
one free ice cream cone from Franks Drive-In, located on SR43. A program that
was revived after a ten-year absence.
I hope more community police departments will embrace
programs like this on a periodic basis. What could be a more effective way to
teach young cyclists best practices then a reward from a police officer in the
course of an average day. At the same time this benefits a locally owned
business as the child who is ticketed will most likely bring friends and/or
family who will also buy ice cream.
This is the precisely the kind of ticket I wish we could all
get once in awhile.
