The problem with wearing a helmet while driving is the added mass to the neck may do more harm than good. You would need the Hans devices installed in Race cars to see a dramatic improvement which compared to the cost of a simple helmet for other activities would need very close look in terms of dollars spent per increased probability of safety.
I believe but Incant find the stats now that children being struck by vehicles has a lower injury rate then gets injured during activities. (That includes playgrounds though where helmets aren't worn and can cause strangulation)
