What states can you ride a motorcycle without a helmet?

What states can you ride a motorcycle without a helmet?

As of the writing of this article (with information obtained from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety), the states you can ride without a helmet is thirty-two depending on your age.

 

As a matter of fact, only 18 states plus Washington D.C., have universal helmet laws. This may surprise many older riders who may remember the day back in 1967 when the federal government required states to enact helmet laws to qualify for certain federal safety programs and highway construction funds. Nearly all states had such laws by the early 1970s, but as the decade went on states managed to stop the Department of Transportation from denying funds over helmet laws.

 

Three states — Illinois, Iowa, and New Hampshire —have absolutely no helmet laws whatsoever. The majority of states have laws requiring helmet use for younger riders with different maximum ages ranging anywhere from 17 to 25 years old.

 

Some states require riders to carry a minimum amount of health insurance coverage to go without a helmet. The qualifications are different in every state and constantly changing. Florida, for instance, requires riders to carry minimum medical coverage insurance of $10,000 to ride without a helmet.

 

If you are planning to ride without a helmet through several states, it is a good idea to check the IIHS helmet list. It is updated monthly and can be found here.

 

This is why it is important to have an experienced motorcycle accident attorney like nationally recognized Jason Waechter. Known nationally as, “The Motorcycle Lawyer℠,” he has affiliate offices throughout the State of Texas. Call 1-877-245-3752 for a free case strategy session.
