Has that ever happened - in a court or as part of a negotiation??
If it has it is worth knowing about but I have never seen anything saying it

I don't the answer to this. As I say suspect this would be the case. Insurers are always looking for a way out of a claim.

Even if I'm using it as a hanging basket?
Maybe a nice black one would look good with petunias and geraniums.

Of course it hasn't internet Myth.
Like the cyclist who submit s video footage and is then prosecuted by police for poor cycling. Internet Myth - but we love em here on CC.
I have no idea but the driver's insurance has asked me enough questions about my lack of helmet so they must want that info for some reason.
I wonder if they asked their customer to explain why he decided to ignore a stop sign and t-bone me.

If and when that happens let's us know. Until then it's hypothetical.
For context I had a bump in the car recently. I've been asked so many times how the bloke towing the caravan hit my car

A possible use for your old helmet:

That was not what I meant at all.
My suggestion is " buy new helmet, you cannot buy a new brain or head"
It takes huge ignorance to believe one can survive every head - hard object impact incident unscathed.

My solicitor dealt with a case where the insurance wanted to lessen the claim by 25% because the bloke was walking along the pavement when the vehicle hit him. If he had not been there it would not have happened.
My very good solicitor thought this was coming and had got his client in the next office so then invited the insurance bloke to come and explain it to the chap. They paid the proper amount instead. Its all a game to them till they have any personal effect.

yes - but you only need to wear a helmet on the rides where your head is going to come into contact with hard object
On every other ride a helmet is unnecessary and just extra weight, uncomfortable and uncool
