Rhode Island H7382 mandates helmet use for all motorcycle operators regardless of age.
Rhode Island H7382 amends the state's laws to require all motorcycle operators to wear a helmet approved by the administrator of motor vehicles, regardless of age. Previously, only operators under 21 and new operators for one year post-licensing were required to wear helmets. This change applies to all riders on all roads and highways. The bill also mandates that motorcycles, motor scooters, and motor-driven cycles be equipped with a rear-view mirror. Violations will incur fines, with proceeds going to the Rhode Island governor’s office on highway safety.
