Car helmets are intended to take more impacts (as shown by the additional 3 hits on the rollbar test). I did not know until researching this that car helmets also have additional fire requirements.
All of that suggests that people buying a helmet for use in a car should get a car helmet.

they are exactly the same with the exception of being tested against a rollbar (which most m200 helmets would surely pass) they do NOT test all three sets of impacts on the same helmet
the standard is NOT lower

its clearly wrong, they have the same impact testing, its just as good for car use as the SA rated ones end of story
