Motorcycle · Passengers and cargo
What kind of helmet does a child need to wear when riding as a motorcycle passenger?
Correct answer: A full-face helmet that meets U.S. DOT standards and fits correctly.
Answer options
- AA child-size bicycle helmet with the strap buckled snugly
- BA full-face helmet that meets U.S. DOT standards and fits correctly Correct
- CA half-shell helmet that meets U.S. DOT standards and fits correctly
Why
A child who rides as a passenger should wear a full-face motorcycle helmet that is DOT-compliant and sized to fit the child. A half-shell leaves the face and jaw exposed, and a bicycle helmet is not built to handle a motorcycle crash.
