What is the New York State Helmet Law ?

New York State has a law making it mandatory for all motorcycle riders to wear a helmet. This includes motorcycle operators and passengers. Wearing a helmet will provide added safety protection and reduce the risk of serious injury or death.
A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study confirmed that of the all motorcycle riders killed in accidents that did not hear a helmet, nearly 40% of those deaths would not have occurred had they been wearing a safety helmet.
