Question 5626

A mandatory requirement for every helmet worn by a motorcyclist or their passenger is that it be...

  1. approved.
  2. a full-face helmet, because it protects more than an open-face helmet.
  3. an open-face helmet, because it is more comfortable and cooler than a full-face helmet.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: approved.

Approved. Both the motorcyclist's helmet and the passenger's must be approved and properly fastened. Approval guarantees that the helmet has passed impact, strength, and material tests. You may choose a full-face or open-face helmet, although a full-face helmet offers more protection.
