The Motor-Cycle Crash Helmets (Religious Exemption) Act 1976, passed by the UK Parliament, is a primary legal text. Its strength is that it is the actual statute exempting turbaned Sikhs from the requirement to wear a crash helmet, in the legislature's own words. Its limit is the ordinary one for a statute: it states the exemption as enacted, not the parliamentary debate or the campaign that produced it.
