Abstract:The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration encourages each State to have and enforce a law requiring all motorcycle operators and passengers to wear a helmet meeting FMVSS 218. Motorcycle helmets provide the best protection from head injury for motorcyclists involved in traffic crashes. The passage of helmet use laws governing all motorcycle riders is the most effective method of increasing helmet use. Additionally, NHTSA strongly supports comprehensive motorcycle safety programs that include motorcycle helmet use, rider education, motorcycle operator licensing, and responsible use of alcohol.
