Fred Hill, a teacher of mathematics, died in prison on the 10th February 1984 aged 74.

He died while fighting against bureaucratic interference with his choice to ride a motorcycle without wearing a crash helmet.

He started his passive campaign in 1976 and after 31 prison sentences he suffered a heart attack and subsequently died while still in custody.

Although not against the wearing of helmets, MAG believes in the fundamental right of the individual to choose.
