The Basics of the Mass. Helmet Law
November 15th, 2010 at 1:00 pm   starstarstarstarstar      

Massachusetts is one of 20 states in the U.S. that has a Full Mandatory Helmet Law.  The law states that every person operating and/or riding a motorcycle (including in a sidecar) is required to wear "protective head gear."  The helmet must be "conforming with such minimum standards of construction and performance as the registrar may prescribe..." which basically means that the state of MA will set a minimum standard with which the safety helmet must comply.  The fine in Massachusetts for riding a motorcycle without a helmet is $35.

Helmet laws are a very controversial subject among bikers.  Whether you agree or disagree, the current law is that you must be wearing a helmet while riding in Mass. so The Motorcycle Lawyer encourages all bikers to do so.
