Are Motorcycle Helmets Required In Georgia
In this video, attorney Ted Spaulding answers whether or not a helmet is required when driving a motorcycle in Georgia.
Are motorcycle helmets required in the State of Georgia? Keep watching this video to learn the answer to this all-important question. Hi, I’m Ted Spaulding. I’m an Atlanta motorcycle accident lawyer. And I’m the founder here at Spaulding Injury Law: Atlanta Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyer. So this is an easy one. Yes, Georgia law requires you to wear a helmet. If you’re a passenger on a motorcycle, you’re required to wear a helmet. But it goes beyond that. Georgia law says you must follow federal law. So, we are talking federal motorcycle helmet law, which is DOT-compliant helmets. So, it is not enough just to be wearing a helmet, you must wear a DOT-compliant helmet. So, you need to make sure you’re wearing one. Be mindful of those novelty ones out there that have the little DOT sticker that are not DOT-compliant helmets. That will come out if you’re in a wreck and it’s not the proper helmet. So, yes it is Georgia law that you wear a DOT-compliant helmet at all times when you’re driving a motorcycle, or you’re riding a motorcycle. So, wear a DOT-compliant helmet, be in compliance with Georgia law.
